Hi SC,
I use some time periods such as 2 day, 3 day, 10 day, 14 day in addition to the conventional periods.

I want to put these in the toolbar, and when I do they come up as intraday charts and not historical charts. so, the 2day button on my toolbar acutally loads an intraday 2 day chart and not a 2 day historical chart.

Given that intraday data for most contracts is limited, I get a very limited chart.

So i have to in manually and change the chart settings to historical and 2 day.

Unfortunately, you do not currently have the option to use historical chart custom time periods in your toolbar. You only have intraday options.

If this could be accommodated, I would greatly appreciate it since it is rather tedious to always change the chart settings.

You can change the number of days per bar for a Historical Chart directly through the keyboard without opening the Chart Settings window. This is documented here:
