HST file Viewer

HST file in MetaTrader is a file format used to store historical price data for instruments like currency pairs, commodities, and stocks. These files are vital for backtesting and charting within the MetaTrader platform. When historical data is downloaded or imported into MetaTrader, it is saved in HST files, each representing a specific time frame (e.g., 1-minute, 5-minute, 1-hour). These files contain historical price bars, including opening, high, low, closing prices, and volume for each time period. MetaTrader utilizes HST files to create price charts for different time frames and perform backtesting of trading strategies.

HST History file viewer has been designed to allow for the viewing and analysis of .hst files. The software enables read both headers and tick data, with the ability to create customizable candlestick charts and export data to file formats such as CSV and XLS.
