Investopedia explains Double Up
When executing a double-up strategy, the investor believes that the latest adverse price fluctuation is only temporary and will shortly correct itself. To capitalize on the price reversal, the investor amplifies his or her current position. Doubling up is a risky strategy, but it can yield large returns.
