More specificity and your real name would be beneficial.

Using IBrokers you can certainly trade intraday.  The limitations using IB
to trade are from the API (50 message per second inbound). Your strategy
will provide more limitation, i.e. trading 5 second bars, or 1 min
granularity you will need to make sure you can do all your calculations
within this time.

Of course, the above applies to any system.  You'll also need to think about
the fact that R isn't threaded, so you'll have to make provisions for IPC.
 Again, this isn't `R` specific...

So, without further information, the answer is absolutely can do.

Best,
Jeff
