Investopedia explains 'Canceled Order'
Most equity orders (especially market orders) are executed so fast today that canceling them before execution may not be possible despite the investor's efforts. Limit orders that are outside of the current stock price can usually be canceled online or by calling the broker directly. Other order types that can quickly become canceled orders are "all-or-none" orders and "fill or kill" orders.
