EFS Question

[Musashi]

Hi

Regarding the commands

getMostRecentAsk()
getMostRecentBid()
getMostRecentTrade()
getMostRecentTradeSize()


I have seen the following check done on the initial data

var nTempAsk = getMostRecentAsk();
var nTempBid = getMostRecentBid();

if (nTempAsk != null && nTempAsk != 0) nAsk = nTempAsk;

if (nTempBid != null && nTempBid != 0) nBid = nTempBid;


Is this check necessary? ie can I just use
nAsk = getMostRecentAsk();

It seems to have worked fine without it so far.

TIA

It is not required if that is what you are asking but it is good practice to check if a value is valid especially if you are going to use it in the context of equations (for example to avoid divide by 0 or NaN errors)
