How to Cancel Futures Orders

Written by 100X

In futures trading, after users submit limit orders, conditional orders, Take Profit / Stop Loss orders, or other order types, they may cancel the order if it has not been filled or triggered.

After an order is canceled, it will no longer wait to be filled or triggered.


1. Which Orders Can Be Canceled?

In general, the following unfinished orders can be canceled:

Unfilled limit orders;
Conditional orders that have not been triggered;
Take Profit / Stop Loss orders that have not been triggered;
Orders that are partially filled but still have remaining unfilled quantity.

If an order has been fully filled, triggered and filled, or entered the system processing stage, it may not be cancelable.

Whether an order can be canceled shall be subject to the display on the 100X App.


2. How to Cancel Current Orders

Users can cancel current orders by following these steps:

  1. Open the 100X App and enter the [Futures] page;

  2. Find Current Orders at the bottom of the futures page;

  3. Locate the order that needs to be canceled;

  4. Tap Cancel next to the corresponding order;

  5. Confirm the cancellation according to the page prompt.

After the cancellation is successful, the order status will be updated to Canceled, and the unfilled part will no longer wait for execution.


3. How to Cancel Conditional Orders

If the submitted order is a conditional order, users can view its status in the conditional order records.

When the conditional order has not yet been triggered, users can cancel it according to the page prompt.

After cancellation, the conditional order will no longer wait to be triggered and will not automatically place an order when the original trigger condition is reached.

If the conditional order has already been triggered, the system may have submitted a market order or limit order based on the user’s settings. Users need to check the actual order status to see whether the subsequent order can still be canceled.


4. How to Cancel Take Profit / Stop Loss Orders

If users have set Take Profit / Stop Loss for the current position, they can view the related orders on the position page or in the Current Orders section.

When the Take Profit / Stop Loss order has not yet been triggered, users can cancel the corresponding setting according to the page prompt.

After cancellation, the Take Profit / Stop Loss rule will no longer take effect, and the system will not automatically trigger position closing based on the original setting.

If users still need risk management, they can set a new Take Profit / Stop Loss price.


5. How to Cancel Partially Filled Orders

If an order has been partially filled, users can usually only cancel the remaining unfilled quantity.

For example:

A user submits a limit order. Part of the order has already been filled, while the remaining part is still waiting to be filled.
If the user cancels the order at this time, the filled part will not be canceled. Only the remaining unfilled quantity will be canceled.

After cancellation, users can view the filled part in Trade Records and the final order status in Order History.


6. What Happens to Funds After Cancellation?

After an unfilled order is canceled, the margin or available quantity occupied by that order will usually be released.

For example:

After an opening order is canceled, the occupied margin may be released back to the available balance in the futures account;
After a closing order is canceled, the corresponding closable quantity may be restored;
After a conditional order or Take Profit / Stop Loss order is canceled, the preset trigger rule will become invalid.

The actual fund and position changes shall be subject to the 100X App display and system processing result.


7. Why Did Order Cancellation Fail?

If users cannot cancel an order, it may be due to the following reasons:

The order has already been filled;
The order has already been triggered and entered the execution process;
The order is being processed by the system;
Network issues or the page status has not updated in time;
The trading pair is temporarily affected by system maintenance or risk control;
The order status has changed and no longer supports cancellation.

Users can refresh the page and check the order status again, or go to Order History to confirm the final result.


8. Where to View Cancellation Records

Users can view cancellation records in the following places:

Order History: Check whether the order has been canceled;
Trade Records: Check whether the order was partially filled;
Fund Records: Check margin, fees, or related fund changes;
Current Orders: Confirm whether the order is still waiting to be filled.

If the order has disappeared from Current Orders, users can check its final status in Order History.


9. Notes on Canceling Orders

Before canceling a futures order, users should pay attention to the following:

Only the unfilled or untriggered part can be canceled;
The filled part cannot be canceled;
An order may not be canceled in time if it is being filled quickly;
After canceling Take Profit / Stop Loss, the position will no longer be protected by the original setting;
After canceling a conditional order, no order will be automatically placed when the original trigger condition is reached;
The cancellation result shall be subject to the actual system processing status.


10. Risk Reminder

Canceling orders may affect the user’s original trading plan. Especially after canceling Take Profit / Stop Loss or closing orders, users need to pay attention to position risk and market changes again.

Futures trading is a high-risk trading product. Users should manage orders and positions reasonably based on their own risk tolerance, and the final result shall be subject to the 100X App display and system execution.
