Main use:

User Trading Workspace: These files hold trading layouts such as chart positions, technical indicators, and other preferences in MetaTrader 5. They are sometimes called NanoTrader Workspace Files. Use MetaTrader 5 to open and manage them.

Alternative use:

UltraTax/Universal Tween Engine workspace: In other cases, UTWS files serve as workspaces for UltraEdit or the Universal Tween Engine Editor. They preserve project settings and organize the editing environment. More information is available at UltraEdit.

File behavior and advice:

They save configuration data in a proprietary format.

Open these files only with their native software to avoid data errors.

Backup before making manual changes.
