is this the only way to check if an order has been closed out by TP or SL?

if ( OrderCloseTime() != 0 )

I would just compare the OrderClosePrice() to the SL or TP - Some platforms also put [sl] or [tp] in the comment but the compare should be good enough.

Here you go.. this might work for you

Inserted Code
datetime LastTradeStoppedOut()
{
   int cnt, total;
   datetime NextTime;
   bool Stopped=false;
   
   NextTime = 0;
   
   total = HistoryTotal();
   for (cnt = total - 1; cnt >= 0; cnt--)
   {
      OrderSelect (cnt, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_HISTORY);
      
      if(OrderSymbol()==Symbol() && OrderMagicNumber() == MagicNumber)
      {
        Stopped = false;
        if (OrderType() == OP_BUY)
        {
          if (OrderClosePrice() - OrderOpenPrice() < 0)
          {
             Stopped = true;
          }
          cnt = 0;
        }
        if (OrderType() == OP_SELL)
        {
          if (OrderOpenPrice() - OrderClosePrice() < 0)
          {
             Stopped = true;
          }
          cnt = 0;
        }
      }
   }
   
   if (Stopped)
   {
      StopTime = OrderCloseTime() + MinutesToDelay*60;
   }
   
   return (Stopped);
}

No, slippage wont mess up a compare. Your broker will ONLY close out a TP/SL at your price. no more, no less. (dont even think they'll close a TP out at a higher price. wont happen.)

What I do most of the time is I store the tickets of the orders each tick in array, then compare the array with the array from the previous tick. The missing orders from the first array are the closed ones, so from there you can select the order from the history and determine if the close price reached the stoploss/takeprofit value as Fulltime247 stated in his reply above.
