Backtesting Suite which can show profit/loss by time (drilldown by N time intervals)

Thanks for the pointers.

Apparently quantstrat and PerformanceAnalytics seem to be used a lot.  I
don't see anything that is specific to their intraday reporting
capabilities.

Will experiment.

I'm looking for a backtesting package in R that can report profit/loss 
for a trading system by intraday time intervals.

<...>

Does anything currently exist which has the ability to output this 
information?

Yes.

Please follow the posting guide[1] and good netiquette[2]; kindly search
before posting and demonstrate that you've put in some effort.

Searching rseek.org for 'transaction profit and loss' in the 'support lists'
tab should amply answer your question.

Also, Pat Burns previously posted a blog entry on searching for information
in R[2] and Paul Teetor covers it well in the R Cookbook [3]
