I would like to have a 2 min bar selection in my chart shortcut menu. From everything I've read it looks like I'm limited to the listed bar periods and that's it. With the control bar buttons, you can put any time period that you want, no limitations at all. Is there any way that I can create a custom 2 min bar period for the shortcut menu. Thanks.

Try setting up a chart with a 1 minute period and then whenever you need to press "2" and "Enter" on the numeric keypad.

Shortcut is also possible, but I think the above is faster.

When you say "shortcut is also possible", are you referring to the chart shortcut menu and if so, how in the world do I get the 2 min bar selection onto my chart shortcut menu? Thanks.
