4. Order Cancellation

To cancel your orders, you must first navigate to the Order Window (see Figure 4.1). There are three different ways to cancel orders:

1) Double-click to cancel;

2) Highlight the order and click on the [Cancel] button;

3) Click the [All] button to cancel All open orders. When the order is confirmed to be canceled by the exchange or ECN, you will see a message in yellow color start with an “X” in the Message Window. At the mean time, the order you want to cancel will disappear from the Open Order window. It usually takes longer to cancel a listed order than to cancel a NASDAQ order.

Double-click to Cancel

Go to the Order Window, double-click on the order that you want to cancel, a Cancel Confirmation box will pop up to ask you whether you want to cancel this order. Choose “Yes” to cancel and “No” to dismiss. (Figure 4.1)

Highlight the Order and Click on the [Cancel] Button

Another way to achieve the same purpose as above, you can first highlight the targeted order with your mouse cursor and then click on the [Cancel] button located on the lower right corner or simply type “Alt+C”. The Cancel Confirmation box will pop up and you can choose “Yes” to proceed or “No” to dismiss.

Cancel All Open Orders

To cancel all open orders at once, please click on the [All] button on the lower right corner of the Order Window (see Figure 4.1). A Cancel Confirmation window will pop up (see Figure 4.2). Please select “Yes” to cancel all orders or “No” to dismiss it.
