About ETP files

The .ETP file extension is predominantly used as a Trading Chart Template by advanced financial charting platforms like ExoCharts and ATAS. These files store custom technical analysis layouts, indicator settings, order flow configurations, and workspace preferences. A smaller subset of .ETP files functions as Building Thermal Analysis Projects created by Perrenoud thermal engineering software, which utilize standard ZIP compression. Other rare uses include eTakeoff Plan Files and event text data for the EverQuest video game.

Users frequently attempt to convert .ETP files because they are highly proprietary and enforce severe vendor lock-in. The primary disadvantage of this format is that it requires an expensive, active software subscription just to view the contents. You cannot natively preview these files in Windows, macOS, or web browsers. Furthermore, an .ETP file built in ExoCharts cannot be easily shared with a colleague using TradingView or Sierra Chart. To share trading strategies, users often want to convert these files into JSON or XML to extract raw indicator parameters, or export them to PDF and PNG for visual sharing, though dynamic functionality will be lost.

Because this is a closed, proprietary format, standard online converters routinely fail to process it. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the embedded data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format - such as the ZIP-based Perrenoud thermal project files - viewing or extraction may still be possible.

Convert.Guru analyzes your ETP file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted EPT, PDF, KDT, PHO and LTD files.
