Hi

Use this to get the current BID, ASK price.

For STP brokers the BID price is used for the current market price as a reference punt.

// Info of the last tick.
//-----------------------
   
// To be used for getting recent/latest price quotes
   MqlTick Latest_Price; // Structure to get the latest prices      
   SymbolInfoTick(Symbol() ,Latest_Price); // Assign current prices to structure 

// The BID price.
   static double dBid_Price; 

// The ASK price.
   static double dAsk_Price; 

   dBid_Price = Latest_Price.bid;  // Current Bid price.
   dAsk_Price = Latest_Price.ask;  // Current Ask price.

You can also use this method:

// Info of the last BAR
//---------------------------------

// Rates Structure for the data of the Last incomplete BAR
   MqlRates BarData[1]; 
   CopyRates(Symbol(), Period(), 0, 1, BarData); // Copy the data of last incomplete BAR

// Copy latest close prijs.
   double Latest_Close_Price = BarData[0].close;

double current_bid = SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol, SYMBOL_BID);

double current_ask = SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol, SYMBOL_ASK);

The "current market price" is the bid/ask.

this can also help you 

    double Ask = NormalizeDouble(SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol,SYMBOL_ASK),_Digits); // Get the Ask Price

    double Bid = NormalizeDouble(SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol,SYMBOL_BID),_Digits); // Get the Bid Price

I find it weird that most comments here gave only bid/ask possibility.
Though the closest thing to currentPrice will generally be

double price =SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol,SYMBOL_LAST);

or

SymbolInfoTick(Symbol(),last_tick) as the last price is the price shown in most of the charts.
