Is Mathematica suitable for keeping up to date a time series built
from a real-time data feed?

Suppose I want to daytrade futures. I can try to hook up ZenFire
(http://www.rithmic.com) to Mathematica but should I make it update a
time series of various contracts or should I do this outside of
Mathematica?

If I update a time series in real time within Mathematica, can it keep
a file of doubles on disk rather than keep everything in memory? In
other words, is Mathematica suitable as a tick (quote) database?

    Thanks, Joel
