Cancel an Order

For a non-transmitted order, the Cancel command deletes the selected order from your trading screen. For a working order, the Cancel command sends a cancellation request to the order destination. See the table below for the meaning of status colors on an order management line.

You can cancel a working order up until the time it has been executed at an order destination. You can also choose to cancel all orders on a page or all orders on your workstation. When you choose a "Cancel all" command, both non-transmitted and working orders are cancelled.
