Quant Investing Backtesting Ideas

Hi guys, 

I am in an investment management class and have a quant investing assignment. I was wondering what some creative and successful backtesting, market-neutral, and nonindustry specific strategies I could use for the last 10 years. I am using Equities Lab for this. Thanks for the help!
