This endpoint cancels by internal orderId. To cancel by either orderId or clientOrderId, use Cancel Order (Combined).

To cancel multiple orders at once, use Batch Cancel Orders (Combined), Cancel Orders (Batch), or Cancel All.

Cancellations remain available in cancel_only and post_only, but return 425 Too Early with code: "trading_disabled" when trading mode is disabled.

Authentication and delegation

Use a scoped API token with HMAC signing and the trading scope. To cancel for a partner sub-account, add ?onBehalfOf=<subProfileId>; the target must belong to the authenticated partner and the token must also have delegated_signing. Include the query string in the HMAC-signed path.

Cancellation behavior

A delayed order can be cancelled before execution, including a delayed FAK or FOK order. That path returns Delayed order canceled successfully. Immediate FAK/FOK orders are generally terminal and no longer cancellable. The endpoint distinguishes:

404 Order not found when the internal ID does not exist;
401 Unauthorized when the order belongs to another profile;
400 Market has already been resolved for a resolved market; and
400 Order not found or already canceled when the order can no longer be cancelled.
