As you may already be aware, ICMarkets will be restricting leverage for all Australian clients after March 29 2021. For non-major pairs this restriction will be reduced to 1:20 which will be incompatible with your strategy. I assume that you possibly have a fair few Australian clients on your books that will have to abandon this strategy after the cut-off date. What is your strategy for them? Will you be able to reduce lot sizes in a separate account? Or will you be able to relax the rule about having to use ICMarkets for those that wish to find another broker offshore that will support 1:500 leverage?

GBP/CAD is still a major pair under the ASIC rules, so new leverage will be 1:30. Whilst that is a lot more margin than now, the strategy will continue to work.
Even at 200% risk of the master account, margin required will only be 20%. That allows for a 90% drawdown before ICM will close out the position (ASIC requires positions to close at 50% of required margin). (Calculated on my own account which is currently running at 200%).
ICM also allow applications for a pro account, if you are eligible.

As per the ASIC press release:
In ASIC’s product intervention order:
major currency pair means any two of the Australian dollar, British pound, Canadian dollar, euro, Japanese yen, Swiss franc and US dollar;
So GBPCAD will be 1:30 if ICM implement accordingly.
