You can have as many brokerage accounts as you want, but it's a waste of money. As the owner of each account, you're responsible.

In fact, some active traders insist on having at least two accounts so they can trade when one provider's platform is down on a busy day.

Yes. Diversified Broker.
Rule: don't tell one broker that you have another.
I hope you have a lot of money, because you can have as many brokerage accounts as you want. Many people have multiple accounts if they have a lot of money because the FDIC only insures money up to $100,000 per account (not shares, just $$), so the more accounts you have the more you can spread your money around to have it insured.
