Using an IB account that is a non-disclosed account

Hi folks

I have an account with http://www.halifaxonline.co.nz which uses the Interactive Brokers platform (e.g. I have an IB login, account number, e.t.c.). I contacted them about using Quantopian, but they said that I wasn't able to use it as I have a non-disclosed account (i.e. IB doesn't know who I am, only Halifax does), and Quantopian needs a disclosed IB account. Is that correct?

Thanks, Daniel.

Try it and find out, only takes a minute to implement an algo. Just make one that buys a tiny amount of SPY, say 1 share just to test
