Hi Deriv Community,

The DBot workspace provides has the option for you to select the _contract type_ in the _Trade parameters_ block.

In this contract type, you will see 3 conditions after selecting a specific trade type namely **Both** , **Rise** and **Fall**.

### Contract Type: Both

For the Contract Type of **Both** : The user will have 2 conditions to choose from for the **Purchase** block in the **Purchase Condition** Mandatory blocks.

### Contract Type: Fall

For the Contract Type of **Fall** : The user can only choose **Fall** for the **Purchase** block in the **Purchase Condition** Mandatory blocks.

The Contract Type: “ **Both** ” option is useful when the DBot user sets up an **advanced strategy** where the user can determine when to purchase a **Rise** or when to purchase a **Fall** :

For example, if you’ve set **contract type** to **Both** , add a conditional block in the **Purchase Conditions** mandatory block to help your bot determine which contract to purchase at each run.

**Here’s how to do it:**

1. Head over to the **Utility** section in the **Blocks Menu** and select **Logic**

 ![Blocks menu](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/deriv/original/2X/3/349e4916ec2dad1c5d2a7df8b06622f165e4c099.jpeg)

1. Add the **Conditional block** under the **Purchase conditions**. You can drag the block to the workspace or click on the ➕ sign.

1. You would need to define and set the first conditions. This depends on your trading strategy. You can add the **purchase block** under the **purchase condition** and set the contract type that you want. Below is an example;

 ![Purchase block](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/deriv/original/2X/d/ddd098addd682cd96a20c12c2ffec399533cec91.jpeg)

1. Click on the + on the **Conditional block** to add a second condition. Set the second condition, add a **Purchase block** , and set the **opposite contract type**.

The User can specify 2 different **Purchase Conditions** , **Rise/Fall** , on the **Conditional block** in the **Purchase Condition** Mandatory Block, where the DBot can purchase the contract with a rise and another with a fall depending on the purchase instruction.

Note: Please note that these options are not supported on mobile.
