Problems with the real-time forex data

I recently fired up SC again for the sole purposes of running market profile on forex data.

I'm on package five and the data feed I selected is SC Forex (FXCM) [data]. The chart updates when I connect the data feed but unfortunately it doesn't update any further from this point. It just sits there with nothing happening.

I don't need trading data (at least for now) I just need live and historical data for the profile charts. Have I selected the correct feed?

I think I should have made the situation more clear in my previous post. I have a green box confirming I'm connected to the above data feed. If I manually disconnect and reconnect to the data feed the chart will update to the current price tick. But unfortunately it doesn't update from this point on; I cannot figure out why.
What am I missing?

I've got it working. I moved from the data feed above to "SC Data - all Services" this seems to have done the trick.

The issue most likely had to do with the Symbol Settings not being up-to-date. Refer to:
