Close one eye?

Seriously, there's not enough information to suggest anything.

I understand "buying everything twice", but what does "in 1:2 ratio" mean?

Cone, buying everything by 1:2 ratio meant that first, the account will buy, say, 500 shares of a security that got a trade alert, and then soon afterwards it will buy 1000 shares of the same security.
