Please note: This aspectarian has been designed for use with "GANNTRADER 1". The first
figure is the_date a square falls due. The second figure is the amount of days (a multiple of the
squares of 52,90 or 144), and the third figure is the date of origin. Begin s{uares at the third
figure,-use the square suggested by the s-econd, and you will have a square completing on the
date of the first fiqure! This will allow you to quickly ey-eball up the relative value clf that square.

Good luck and goo$frading!
