What is an SXP file?

SXP files mostly belong to TradeStation. SXP files are used to export trading chart and strategy data. They are compressed using the ZIP format, which means the file holds several components that define stock chart settings and trading rules.
This file type is primarily used by TradeStation to export charts from their StockCharts module. In some cases, the files are also known as StrategyQuant Xporter data files, which are used to transfer trading strategies between systems.
If you need to access an SXP file, you can:
  • Open it with TradeStation software
  • Rename the file extension to .zip and extract its contents to view the underlying data
  • Examine the individual data files for configuration or strategy details
  • FilExt.com note: For more information, check out the TradeStation website.

    How do you open SXP files?

    You need a suitable software like TradeStation to open an SXP 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 SXP file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a SXP file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
