This message requests the cancellation of a particular order. If an order has been partially filled, only the remaining quantity can be cancelled. The request should be accepted only if an order can successfully be cancelled without executing further. The server generated identifiers should be used as OrigClOrdId. From Release 1.3.10, it is possible to cancel orders by ClOrdID or DeribitLabel, and OrigClOrdId is not required anymore, however canceling orders by OrigClOrdId is noticeably faster.

​
IMPORTANT:

  • to cancel an order by ClOrdID or DeribitLabel, this must be the only open order (with such ClOrdID or DeribitLabel respectively). To cancel many orders by DeribitLabel, use Order MassCancel Request(q).
  • when possible it is recommended to use faster OrigClOrdId
