What version of MC are you at?
Are you using the free version.
I believe that version is locked to 3 feeds only, Rithmic, CQG and IQFeed (?)

If you have a licensed version then you should have both feeds in the FreeQuotes settings

Just to make it clear Freequote from yahoo and google does not show the right data.
You can NOT relay on that data.
Just to give an example…
Yahoo and google show on 07. November 2016 on the S&P500 the OPEN and LOW on that day was 2100. Looking at 2 (including paid) other provider it shows on the M1 data that it was NEVER under 2111. Not in the night nor on the open at EoD or any other time on that day.
It is normal that data may vary on 2 points or so but never over 10 points.
So developing on the Freequotes will have different result to your broker.
