unix_timestamp( ) & retrieving historical rate data

I am using mysql to receive stock market rate data, and I have a rate
feed which tells me when the rate has changed. I input the data as it
comes in, into a mysql database that has both a unix_timestamp( ) field
and the rate field. Neither field is indexed.

What I need to do is calculate the Moving Average by taking the rate
from 30 seconds, 60, 90, etc seconds ago. Currently I am using the
humungous sub query select statement below. Are there any alternatives?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It seems to me you could get a big performance boost indexing the
timestamp field.

Depending on how you need to handle missing or duplicate reports, you
might be able to do:

select avg(bid) from eurusd where timestamp between unix_timestamp( ) -870
and unix_timestamp( );

This presumes you've got a report coming in about every 30 seconds, and
from your description, I'm not sure that's your setup.

Gordon,

You are correct, there is no guarantee I get a quote every 30 seconds,
it can come in 3 times a second or only once every 60 seconds, I just
need a way to get the bid at any second of the day.
