Default OR'ing to IF Statements

To begin with, you comma (","), not semicolon (";") as a
separator.

I do not understand what it is you want to "OR" and what
outcome you are looking for when the OR() returns true v.
false. I suggest that you start by writing your requirements
in English, something like:

if "this condition" or "that condition", then "this", else "that"

My suspicion is that you do not want "OR" at all, but perhaps
nested "IFs", for example:

if "this condition", then "this"
else if "that condition", then "that", else "another"

Based on that assumption, I wonder if the following is the
solution you are looking for:

=IF(H5="sell", (K5-D5)*L5*100, IF(H6="buy", (C6-K6)*L6*100, ""))
