Thanks for the pointer. It appears that deleting the last element  
would be O(N), i.e. slow. This is something that I would need to do  
every time I insert a quote, though.

In essence, if the full price set of prices (time series) is stored  
someplace, the window that strategies use to look at the time series  
is a sliding window. It moves ahead one element at a time as new  
elements (quotes) are added.

	Thanks, Joel
