One possibility is 

= IF(J2<>"", SWITCH(F2,"put",H2,"call",-H3) * (I2-J2)*100, "")

Most probably you are right, but to follow request literally

- we first check on put and call

 

if one of the above

then

      if J2 is empty

      then ""

      else SWITCH

else

     inform that logic is not defined
