This is the full user manual for Cash Cow Cent, the XAUUSD grid Expert Advisor for cent accounts on MetaTrader 5.

Risk warning
Cash Cow Cent is a martingale grid. Lot size grows with every layer, and a strong one-directional move can lose the entire account in a single basket. It is designed for cent accounts and for money that can be lost completely. Past performance, backtests included, does not guarantee future results. Nothing in the manual or in this post is financial advice.
