What is an HCC file

HCC files mostly belong to MetaTrader 4. HCC files serve more than one function.
  • MetaTrader History: Many HCC files are created by MetaTrader 4. They are known as History Center Files that record trade activity, price logs, and chart data. You can view details on the MetaTrader 4 website.
  • Encrypted Configuration: Some HCC files store encrypted settings used by tools such as hcxtools. These files hold hacked or secured configuration data. More about these can be found on the hcxtools GitHub.
  • Heat Camera Calibration: A few HCC files are used as calibration data for heat cameras, such as those from HoloLens 2 sensors.
  • FilExt.com tip: Each variant requires the correct software to open it. Using the proper application will show the intended structure and data accurately.

    How to open an HCC file

    You need a suitable software like MetaTrader 4 to open an HCC file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your HCC file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a HCC file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
