In NinjaTrader syntax this is just GetCurrentBid() and GetCurrentAsk(). This will give you the current bid / ask price that is transacting.
If you have a limit order you submitted on the DOM that is k ticks out and over time as the market moves, if you want to know how far away your resting order is from the current best bid / best ask, all you would do is something like.
MyAskOrder -GetCurrentAsk()
or GetCurrentBid() - MyBidOrder
The difference will be the total number of ticks.

In the analytical world there is no such thing as art, there is only the science you know and the science you don't know. Characterizing the science you don't know as "art" is a fools game.
ya this is actually quite easy in NT8 even in the Strategy analyzer. just build it your self. you would want to set up a condition the first checks if there are any active orders or open positions which ever limit order your talking about. then set an action to take the absolute value of the difference of current price - that limit order. this will give you the distance in points. then you could divide by the tick value to get ticks.
