Post From: I can't get the FXCM dataservice to work properly

I'm normally pretty self supporting when it comes software but I'm stuck. I already researched many if the support threads.

I have a real FXCM account and I can connect to it via Data/Trade service settings.
Also no problem in placing orders via the SC Trade Window.

I want to make sure that:
1) I get real-time data (I use 60' through 1' charts a lot)
2) Data as accurate as possible. So, I prefer to get the for the DAX future instead of the data for the FXCM CFD GER30

I also have turned on the SC Real Time datafeeds:
-Full CME Group (CME, CBOT, COMEX, NYMEX) for Trading accounts
-EUREX

Questions:

1)Which Service do I turn on?
-FXCM FIX [trading]
-SC Forex DATA(FXCM) [data]
-SC Historical data

2)Do I really still need the SC real time feeds (costs about $54 a month) or do I get that fromn FXCM already?
(When I was using my Interactive Brokers account it really helped because getting the data from IB is a royal PITA)

Thanks for any help
