In the following code how can I keep the DynamicModule from computing values if the input values are not all filled? If I don't specify default values it will show the code used to compute the values instead of blank values.
Thanks.
backingAgreementValue[w_, σ_, 
  a_] := σ /Sqrt[2 π] Exp[ -(w - a)^2/(2 σ^2)] + 
  w CDF[NormalDistribution[0, 1], (w - a)/σ]
DynamicModule[{w = 40, σ = 600, a = 0, n = 100, horseCut = 0.5,
   backingValue, expectation, backerValue, horseValue, 
  horseExpectationPercentage, values},

        InputField[Dynamic[n], Number], 
        InputField[Dynamic[horseCut], Number],
        Dynamic[
         Style[backingValue = 
           backingAgreementValue[expectation, σ Sqrt[n], a] // 
            N, If[backingValue >= 0, Darker[Green], Red]]],
        Dynamic[
         Style[expectation = w n // N, 
          If[expectation >= 0, Darker[Green], Red]]],
        Dynamic[
         Style[horseValue = horseCut  backingValue // N,

Answer
Wrap a test around the visible code. If the test passes then display the calculation otherwise display a e.g. spacer:
If[NumberQ[σ]&&NumberQ[n]& ...etc,
Dynamic[Style[
  backingValue = 
   backingAgreementValue[expectation, σ Sqrt[n], a] // N, 
  If[backingValue >= 0, Darker[Green], Red]]],
Spacer[0]
]
