No need for a MultiBroker license.
Then the things to know is most brokers do not all allow multiple connections on the same instance (no 2 CQG connections connected in parallel for example). This is true whatever the Ninja license.

I think Ninja knows which resources are used by the software but I'm suspecting an architectural thing which makes running multiple instances on the same OS (some mutex maybe).

so, let me ask this question...

If Multi-Broker License is not needed here; then what does Multi-Broker really do ??

It's a question for NinjaTrader but still you can have a NT instance connected to CQG, Rithmic and multiple Interactive Brokers accounts.
It was a more relevant option before when (version 6.5 and 7) when much more brokers were available.

My original plan when I joined with NinjaTrader brokerage was to execute
through CQG but I absolutely needed Rithmic's Market Data, since I analyze
the DOM out 40 levels on either side.

They would not allow me to do that.

The consequence for me was that instead of a $50 margin requirement, I am
facing $352 margin requirement through Rithmic. This is a very unsatisfactory
situation which I'm going to be forced to remedy somehow...

Is this with NT8 and are you doing that with a single instance of an NT8 process?
I've been told that simultaneous usage; for Live Orders, is not possible.

So I'm guessing you use 2 separate processes; and, if so, do you run in 2 separate
login accounts on the same machine; or do you use 2 separate machine contexts
or literally 2 separate OS instances?

Thanks,

Just one instance of NT7. Both are live accounts. See screenshot below:

If it helps i am running Nt7 & Nt8 simultaneously on the same machine.

Nt7 has multiple Leeloo accts with an Algo running on 3 different accounts. THIS IS UNDER THE 1 LOGIN, as you cant have a separate Rithmic Connection to same instance of Ninjatrader.

Nt8 i use for manual trades with my Ninja Continuum acct.

Pc resources no problems...Cant post a screenshot due to rules but CPU 4% and Ram 21%. No overclocking.
AMD Ryzen Threadripper and 64gb DDR4 Ram.

Been looking for the right multi-instance that will allow me to run separate NT8 on same PC.

There's an app that will allow for multi-instances.

1)
See here:
https://puvox.software/blog/ninjatrader-multi-separated-instances/

Download:
https://bitbucket.org/puvox/ninjatrader-separate-instance-creator/downloads/

2)
https://sandboxie-plus.com/

Have anyone done it before before I try it on my own here?
