<mark style="color:yellow;">This Cancelling Exchange Order(s) process applies to all BTCpay markets (BTC/TOKEN), XCP markets (XCP/TOKEN) and all Token markets (TOKEN/TOKEN2).</mark>

In the bottom right side of the Exchange pair, you will the “My Open Orders” box that will show your active order and its details. Simply click the red “X” on the right side to cancel your order.

This will now show the Confirm Cancel Order pop-up:

Here you will be prompted to set your fee for this transaction. If you are in a hurry to close this order (and access the token that was in escrow in the order quickly) it is recommended to use a High fee.\
\
To learn more about what fee to use, check out the [What BTC Fee should I use?](/freewallet.io-user-manual/getting-started/what-btc-fee-should-i-use.md) section of this User Manual.

<mark style="color:yellow;">Once the transaction has confirmed your order will be cancelled and your funds returned to you that were a part of your open order.</mark>
