For these symbols you probably need to use the Symbol Format that includes the primary exchange. Refer to:

However, there is a setting in TWS you need to set to make sure this works right.

I'll see if the (MSFT-Stock-smart)thing to see if I get streaming data. My question is why would I have to on just a few symbols and none of the rest.

There always is a Message Log. It is impossible for that not to exist. Without it we have no idea about the problem.

Interactive Brokers has to answer this for you.

"There always is a Message Log" Doesnt ALWAYS "pop up". Maybe there is a log that I can access, because the only thing on my screen with the following symbol $GDX is attached

What is the question regarding the screenshot in post #12?

To provide the Message Log here are instructions:

If you are having a problem doing something with Sierra Chart, then please copy and paste the ENTIRE copy of the Message Log into your email message or Support Board message. Support cannot help without the Message Log. Sending some of the lines is not helpful. The message log does not contain any private information.

Instructions:

1. If the Sierra Chart Message Log is not already open, then select "Window >> Show/Hide Message Log" on the menu to open it. If you still do not see the log after selecting this command, then select "Window >> Reset Windows". The log will be displayed in this case. If not, then select "Window >> Show/Hide Message Log" again.

2. Press the "Copy Log" button on the Message Log window. Do not use the "Send for Analysis" button. Otherwise, the log will not be seen.

3. Move your Pointer to the message area either in the email message, Support Board or Account Support Ticket.

4. Right-click your Pointer. Select "Paste" on the menu to paste it into the message area.

THE INSTRUCTIONS ABOVE EXPLAIN HOW TO AUTOMATICALLY COPY AND PASTE THE MESSAGE LOG DATA INTO A MESSAGE. THERE IS NO NEED TO TYPE IT BY HAND.
