In my current setup, I submit trades in 2nd instance using a bare bones chart with only price bars and attached trading dom. All other charts with studies are in main instance.
This is opposite of the way you should be doing it. Refer to:
Overview of Trading: Sierra Chart Configuration for Most Low Response Time Trading

Use the main instance for trading.

I received an error message saying Global Position Limit of 4 has been exceeded.
Remove the Global Position Limit:
Global Symbol Settings: Use Global Trade Position Limit

You clearly have it set. There is nothing wrong with this functionality other than it may be working in more cases and be more strict.


One other thing I noticed is that in this new version, chart trading order lines are no longer visible in main instance when trade is submitted in 2nd instance.
There is absolutely no problem with this at all in the new version. There is another reason in your case. Refer to:
Chart Trading and the Chart DOM: Viewing Orders and Trade Position on the Chart / Trade DOM
