Extract text from Trading history files (HCC)
To convert HCC History files to another format, you need MetaTrader 4 or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Historical Trading Data" file type, you need software like MetaTrader 4 or a similar tool.
The .HCC file extension primarily acts as a Historical Chart Data file used by MetaTrader 4, the popular forex trading platform developed by MetaQuotes. The software uses these files to cache historical price data and tick records to speed up algorithmic backtesting. A secondary use for the .HCC extension is as an App Bypass Configuration file for the HTTP Catcher network debugging tool.
The main disadvantage of .HCC files is their proprietary and closed structure. You cannot easily read them outside their native environments. Traders who want to analyze their market data in Python, R, or Microsoft Excel face a major roadblock because .HCC files are stored as raw binary data. Similarly, HTTP Catcher configuration files are often encrypted, restricting users from modifying network rules manually.
To break free from these platform limits, you need to extract the data into an open format. For data analysis, spreadsheets, or machine learning, convert .HCC to CSV. For web applications or custom scripting, convert to JSON.
Convert.Guru analyzes your HCC file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted HC, HEIC, CSV, EDDX, PNG, HST, SRV and EX4 files.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our HCC converter.
