Is is possible to connect to an IB account simultaneously on the same machine using NT7 and NT8? I know that NT 7 goes through TWS and that NT 8 has another adapter it can use, but can they both co-exist? And if a live order is placed in one, will it show up in the other one and also in TWS (if placed through NT8)? Thanks!

Hello Trader_55, and thank you for your question.
If you have two instances of TWS open on different ports, NinjaTrader 7 can connect to one port and NinjaTrader 8 can connect to another.
Whether you can have two instances of TWS open on the same account, and whether they communicate with each other, is dependent upon TWS. I did not test this configuration, as we do not provide support for their platform.
However, just now, I have tested the following configuration:
Instance 1
Account 1
Port 7496
NinjaTrader 7 connected
Instance 2
Account 2
Port 7497
NinjaTrader 8 connectedJessica P.NinjaTrader Customer Service
