# Cancelling an order

Portfolio orders can only be cancelled whilst in the `NEW` state.
To cancel an existing order, send the following request using the `portfolio_order_id` of the order you want to cancel:

**DELETE** [`/portfolios/orders/{portfolio_order_id}`](/api/portfolios/cancel_portfolios_order)

Upon successful cancellation of any portfolio order, you will receive a webhook notifying you about the cancellation.
