What is an SQX file?

SQX files mostly belong to SQX Archiver by Sven Ritter. SQX files are files which are compressed through the SQX Archiver program developed by Rainer Nausedat, which is an open-source file compression and decompression tool. SQX files utilize a compression algorithm which is a variation of that of LZH files, where it contains one or more files which have been compressed in order to reduce their allotted disk space when transporting them to another location or simply storing them.

• Main Usage: When handling multimedia information, SQX files contain numerous compression extensions, whilst additionally containing a high-speed audio (WAV) compressor. Furthermore, SQX files have integrated 128/256 bit AES file encryption where they are even responsible for the independent encryption of archive directories, whilst having inherently very strong and reliable encryption.
• Compression: When SQX files are in an ultra compression mode, they are able to support LZ Dictionaries of up to 32768K, where additionally they normally support 32K to 4096K LZ Dictionaries.

How to open SQX files

You need a suitable software like SQX Archiver to open an SQX 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 SQX file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a SQX file directly in the browser:.

SQX file format details:

If you can determine the file format, the associated program can also be determined. Each file format has a unique extension and almost always a unique signature. For example, Microsoft Word documents have the extension .docx and the signature (usually the first 3 characters in this file) PK. However, different programs can use the same file extension. Furthermore, a file extension can be renamed incorrectly and double-clicking on it will then display an error when it is opened. So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program. In the following you will find our evaluation of the SQX files:

The SQX file extension is rarely used and includes various formats for various programs. The following file formats are most commonly found in SQX files:

• 40% of all SQX files internally use the ZIP format, that is, an SQX file includes multiple compressed files. SQX files contain from 1 to 11 compressed files. File names are e.g. lastSettings.xml, orders.bin, settings.xml, strategy_Portfolio.xml, version.txt, \META-INF\MANIFEST.MF and \Results\. You can see the included files and images by renaming the file extension to .zip and then double-clicking it. The files are often between 3 KB and 110 KB in size. The files contain the following words: META-INF/MANIFEST.MF and settings.xml. The file name 1000_strategies_tutorial_basic_configStrategy 2020-06-015.sqx or Strategy 2020-06-012.sqx is characteristic of these files. Files like these are sometimes connected to strategies, tutorial, config, basic, quant, eurusd, break and gold.
• 20% of all SQX files start with the bytes P#R crucial for this file format. If you open these files in a text editor, you will see only illegible characters. Most of these files are 8 KB to 2 MB in size. Certain words are almost always found in the files, such as -sqx-. These files are attributed to person-related data.

The remaining 40% of all SQX files are different files with different signatures, frequently e.g. sqx. Tagged as qsich or gmbh. Just click the "Choose your .sqx file to analyze" button on this page to find out what your SQX file is.
