do i need to set the connection settings to anything specific? like a certain backup feed?

It is not necessary to enable a backup connection. Since you are only subscribed with BarChart, please leave the backup connection to none.

You can find a BarChart connection guide at the link below.

Once connected to BarChart you will receive real-time data which you can use to trade the sim101 account.
