> Every strategy created with DBot consists of 6 steps as shown in the diagram below. First, two steps are executed only once when a strategy starts. The following 4 steps repeat indefinitely unless the user stops the strategy manually or by adding a condition to the last step. The 5th step (Sell a contract) is optional and can be removed from a strategy. If the 5th block is on the workspace, when the strategy is running it keeps executing the content of the on every tick.

Once you’ve logged in to Dbot site [here](https://app.deriv.com/bot), you can head over to the left-side corner, you will see the **Blocks menu**.
From there, you can find the **utility** section and click on it. You will be able to see the variable and create your variable accordingly.
You can enter any name for your variable and click on the **create** button. Once done, the newly created variable can now be used in your strategy. 👏 You can drag the variable to your Dbot workspace or click the ➕ sign.
A value must be assigned to variable for the variable to function. Variable alone does not have any function.
