3 indicator signal

PANDUAN MENGGUNAKAN SIGNAL BAR
Signal Bar adalah kombinasi 3 indicator iaitu: 
1. MACD (Moving Average Convergence and Divergence), 
2. STR (Schaff Trend RSI)
3. EMA(Exponental Moving Average).
Kesemua indicator digabungkan dalam bentuk bar mengikut time frame di MT4.
MENGENALI SIGNAL
1. Semua bar berwarna merah bermula dari bar TFM1 hingga TFH4 itu adalah signal untuk STRONG SELL.
2. Semua bar berwarna hijau bermula dari bar TFM1 hingga TFH4 itu adalah signal untuk STRONG BUY.
Jika warnanya bercampur2 hijau dan merah itu adalah tanda market tidak stabil dimana Buyer vs Seller sedang bersaing. Jangan buang masa. Jika anda enter komfem trading anda floating.
DATA DAN INPUT
Mari kita lihat input2 dan data info atau nombor dibawah signal bar.
1. SPREAD
Spread adalah jumlah pip atau komisyen yang diambil oleh broker anda. Setiap pair yang anda gunakan signal ini memberi tahu berapa pip spread pair tersebut.
2. PIPS TO OPEN 
Memberi tahu berapa jumlah pips yg telah dibuka pada hari tersebut.
Jika nombor berwarna hijau menunjukkan berapa jumlah pip dalam keadaan bullish dari mula market open pada hari berkenaan.
Jika nombor warna merah menunjukkan berapa jumlah pip dalam keadaan bearish dari mula market open pada hari berkenaan.
3. HI TO LOW 
Maksudnya julat antara harga paling tinggi dicapai hingga paling rendah dicapai pada hari berkenaan.
4. DAILY AVERAGE 
Ini adalah anggaran jumlah pips yg diberi oleh signal bar kemana arah tuju (trend) market hari tersebut dan berapa pips yg dijangka akan dibuka pada hari tersebut.
Kalau nombor berwarna hijau menunjukkan ramalan signal bar bahawa market akan bullish.
Kalau nombor berwarna merah menunjukkan ramalan signal bar bahawa market akan bearish.
Sekian. Moga difahami dgn jelas mengenai panduan menggunakan signal bar.

Scammer Forex / Broker

Nota untuk NEWBIE :
Salah satu cara mengenal pasti SCAMMER terlatih dan berpengalaman.. (Trained Scammer)..

Seperti yang kita sedia maklum forex adalah satu perniagaan yang amat hebat dan mampu memberi kejayaan diluar jangkaan dan juga mampu memberi penyakit jantung serta darah tinggi tahap maksimum. Maka zaman sekarang berpusu2 la manusia2 yang masih merangkak2 cuba untuk mencebur diri dengan perniagaan forex dan ramai yang sudah berjaya dan ramai juga yang telah loss. dan seperti yang kita sedia maklum, ramai yang loss lebih dari yang berjaya.. diantara sebabnya selain dari cara trading yang tidak betul, ramai juga yang ditipu oleh para scammer2 yang sudah otai..
Oleh yang demikian, maka wajiblah bagi anda2 newbie untuk mengenalpasti samada anda sebenarnya mengikut dan belajar dari OTAI FOREX ataupun OTAI MARKETING FOREX ataupun OTAI SCAMMER... moga nota ini memberi sedikit cahaya pada anda untuk terus berada didalam dunia forex ini..
Antara ciri2 OTAI SCAMMER..
1- KEBANYAKANnya berperwatakan yang lembut, baik, nampak beragama dan penuh iman didada..
2- DISANJUNGI oleh ramai orang kerana konon sikapnya yang baik, suka membantu semua orang..
3-tiap2 hari SS buat beratus/beribu USD profit..
4-mempergayakan gaya hidup yang sangat mewah pada public..
5-MENJANJIKAN teknik dan hasil yang 0% LOSS
6-seminggu berkali2 amik gamba tunjuk wang berjuta2 kepada anda

Jika anda jumpa dengan manusia yang mempunyai ciri2 seperti ini maka berhati2lah kerana hanya satu dalam seribu sahaja yg mempunyai perwatakan seperti ini tetapi bukan scammer...
Jadi bagaimana untuk pastikan yang lebih lanjut samada mereka2 ini sebenarnya GENUINE SUCCESS TRADER ataupun USTAZ JUTAWAN FOREX?
Senang sahaja...
1- Kenalpasti BROKER apa yang digunakan oleh mereka ini... kenalpasti broker apa yang diPROMOTE oleh mereka... Jika mereka menggunakan BROKER CAP AYAM yang dimana broker tidak regulated, ataupun mereka promote broker2 yang offer bermacam2 jenis plan dan ROI, ataupun jika mereka menggunakan broker yang regulated tetapi regulator dari kepulauan2 yang diduduki oleh hanya beberapa ketul manusia dan selebih2nya hanyalah diduduki oleh monyet2 dan spesis2 beruk tempatan MAKA... anda telah tersilap percaya dan tersilap membawa diri anda didalam dunia forex ini..

Akan tetapi.. ada juga beberapa orang yang masih baru tetapi dianggap otai sifu masta yang membawa ataupun menggunakan broker2 sebegini kerana dia sendiri tidak tahu tentang kebenaran ini.. akhir sekali dengan otai2 ini juga di tipu dan dipergunakan oleh owner2 broker ini.. akhirnya mengakibatkan beliau kerugian duit sendiri dan juga duit2 clientnya dan dalam masa yang sama juga kehilangan kepercayaan.. bagi yang melalui pengalaman seperti ini ia adalah normal... itu dinamakan pengalaman, cuma JANGAN diulanginya lagi dengan menggunakan broker yg lebih kurang sama seperti yang anda gunakan dulu... tetapi ramai juga yang akan buat benda sama juga berulang kali...
Kembali kepada topik diatas... bagaimana cara untuk kenalpasti broker itu bagus ataupun tidak... hanya broker (bukan bank) yang diregulatedkan di UK, US dan AUSTRALIA sahaja adalah broker2 yang akan dikawal secara tegas oleh regulator2. regulator dari tiga negara ini akan memastikan broker2 tersebut tidak menyelewengkan duit2 trader/investor dan mereka sesuka hati boleh mengacau trading anda, freezekan trading anda... dari untung jadi loss dan juga block akaun anda apabila anda sudah profits yg banyak... diantara tiga regulator ini, hanya regulator dari UK (FCA-UK) sahaja yang menawarkan funds guarantee kepada client/investor dimana jika broker2 yang didaftarkan dengan FCA-UK ini bungkus, maka FCA-UK ini akan menggantikan semula duit anda. Tetapi.. fca-uk ada dua.. satu fca-uk dan satu lagi fca-uk EEA.. fca-uk EEA tidak ada funds guarantee seperti fca-uk, ia hanyalah lesen kosong semata2... untuk tahu broker mana yg fca-uk dan broker mana yg fca-uk EEA anda boleh rujuk disni.. http:// www. 100forexbrokers. com/ fsa-regulated-brokers
Maka step yang paling penting ialah menggunakan broker yang strict dan strong bukannya broker yang menawarkan pelbagai plan2 ROI mahupun bonus2. "THERE IS NO FREE MONEY IN ANY BUSINESS"
Anda juga boleh tengok broker2 itu didaftarkan dimana dan dimana alamat ofisnya.. anda cuma perlu copy alamatnya dan pastekan didalan GOOGLE MAPS dan anda boleh lihat dimana opisnya... di negara2 kuat ditengah2 bandarkah?? ataupon didalam pulau2 dimana hanya beruk2 dan chimpanzee saja yang menjadi penduduk tetap distu... bukak mata, bukak akal anda... buat apa broker nak setup opis dipulau dimana pulau itu tiada kepentingan market untuknya?
Ada juga beberapa jawapan yang diberi seperti biasalah.. start kecik2 dlu then jadilah besar... ini adalah dunia forex... ini adalah perniagaan forex... perniagaan yang melibatkan trillion dollars.. jika anda sebagai owner tiada cukup wang untuk membuka broker dengan cara yang betul dan mengharapkan untuk collect duit clients dan kemudian baru nak setup broker btol2 itu pun kalaulah niat mcm tu... kebanyakkan nya sampai masa .. sampai sudah collect jutaan ringgit then terus hilang membisu bersama duit2 clients duit2 pengikut setia duit2 macainya skali dia bawak lari... banyak contoh broker2 malaysia sebelum ini yang macam ni...
Jadi anda sebagai NEWBIE yang masih berhingus yang masih dua tiga tahun didalam dunia forex ini... buka lah akal anda dan jangan hanya nak buat duit dengan cepat.. pilihlah channel yang betul.. pilihlah OTAI SIFU MASTA yang betul supaya anda konsisten didalan perniagaan forex ini... jika tidak sedar tidak sedar anda hanya membuang duit anda sahaja secara konsisten..
Jadi pada otai2 yang telah silap langkah atau dengan sengaja maka kembalilah kepada jalan yang benar... hidup dan meniagalah secara bermaruah... bukan dengan cara scam orang kanan kiri depan belakang... ingatlah bahawa setiap duit yang anda dapat itu adalah haram dan juga setiap duit itu menjadi darah daging didalam diri kita... bersihanlah semula hati anda dengan melakukan perkara yang betul dan tidak lagi bersubahat dengan aktiviti2 scammers yang lain... Mati itu pasti pada suatu hati nanti..
Pada newbie2... Lu Pikirlah Sendiri....

My Fx Note

My Teacher said :

Ada dua cara nak trade forex:

1. Trade semasa atau selepas news, itupun dah terlepas beberapa pips.

2. Trade sebelum impak news, dan entry berada di puncak. Ini dipanggil sentiment analysis..

Salah satu sebab kenapa sampai sekarang masih tak konsisten dalam forex trading. Sebabnya adalah "ego" kerana tidak mahu sediakan sebuah buku catatan khas dan beranggapan boleh dengar dan simpan kedalam minda secara terus sedangkan warren buffet, bill gates sentiasa menulis dan membuat catatan apa shaja maklumat yang diperoleh. Inikan pula kita yang baru belajar.

Guru saya pernah berpesan, forex trading memerlukan tahap psychological yang tinggi. Kalau baru digertak market floating dah menggigil, ini bermakna kamu tidak sesuai untuk menjadi forex trader. Mungkin forex trading tidak sesuai dengan kamu. "Angkat kaki dan tinggalkan dunia forex"⁠⁠⁠


PART 1

Assalamualaikum.. Maaf lambat reply. Baru lepas mengikut sebuah kursus profesional trader of Asia yang dianjurkan oleh Master U.K Nak kongsi sedikit pengalaman dan beberapa teknik untuk berjaya dalam forex.

1. Sebelum memulakan trading, membuat analisis atau entry position, para trader perlu menguasai asas pengurusan kewangan atau modal. Ini kerana forex trading sangat berisiko dalam waktu yang singkat. Kita boleh mengalami kerugian kesemua modal yang kita ada mungkin dalam 1 minit, mungkin berjam atau mungkin beberapa hari.

Oleh ini, trader perlu mengenali "SAYA TRADER JENIS APA?".

A. Intrader trader
B. Short term
C. Long term

Okay mari kita kenali diri kita dengan lebih mendalam:

A. Intrader trader - Trader jenis ini biasanya jenis scalping. Menggunakan timeframe m1/m5/m1. Biasanya trader jenis ini open dan close postion dalam waktu yang sangat singkat atau lebih tepat lagi asal profit terus close.

B. Short term - Trader jenis short term pula biasanya dikenali sebagai trader harian atau "day-trader". Trader ini biasanya menggunakan timeframe daily/hour4/hour1/m30. Trader jenis trader short term ini biasanya open position dalam satu hari sahaja dan close position sebelum genap 24 jam. Kebarangkalian mereka entry position dalam sehari kurang daripada 5x sehari (jika trader mempunyai lebih daripada 1 akaun trading)

C. Long term - long term trader biasanya open position lebih daripada sehari/berminggu/berbulan. Atau dikenali sebagai swing trader.

Tips: Sebelum memulakan trading, anda perlu duduk dan fikir sejenak, AKU MAHU JADI TRADER JENIS APA? Anda hanya perlu pilih satu sahaja daripada 3 pilihan. Ini kerana seorang trader tidak perlu berasa tamak untuk membuat pilihan. Kerana kesemua pilihan boleh membuat pendapatan yang lumayan.

Sekian perkongsian untuk PART 1 



Admin

Dalam forex ada posisi buyer dan seller. Kedua dua ini sering berlawanan didalam posisi. 

Contoh:

Market memang ingin jatuh (sell) tetapi masih ramai trader yang berasa di posisi buy. Oleh sebab itu price tidak dapat membuat keputusan atau terus jatuh tapi melayan terlebih dahulu trader yang berada di posisi buy. 

Berkenaan ada berpendapat yang mengatakan ada broker yang "hunting stop loss" maksudnya broker ni mengejar stop loss yang trader set baru pergi kearah yang sepatutnya. Ini sebenarnya tanggapan yang salah. Jika broker itu adalah broker "Non-dealing desk" masalah hunting stop loss ini sememangnya jarang berlaku
Tips 

Kita sebagai "retail trader" atau trader runcit perlu gunakan "stop loss" sebab kita tidak mampu melawan market. Atas daripada "Retail trader" adalah "institutions trader" dimana "institutions trader" ni adalah trader yang bekerja di bank, syarikat besar, dan pelabur besar. Mereka pon Trader macam kita juga. Cuma bezanya mereka lebih banyak kelebihan daripada kita. Biasanya "institution trader" ni akan masuk entry pada harga price yang genap. Dan juga set stop loss pada price yang genap

Don't ever focus on these people who post massive profits and not anything else. They could make 180k one day and loose 200k the next. It's about becoming consistent !! Covnstistace is key and knowing when to trade you don't have to trade every da

 i personaly also had a bad month, but one thing i am sure of is that i know why i lost...remmember that trading is more than simply follow signals...if you want to be a trader then work hard and stop complaining guys. Loses are part of the business

Emmanuel said :
Even if u copy the best signal in the world and u don't have a trade plan in mind u will make losses.  Don't blame the signal.  I trade by my 10 pip a day rules

Sebagai informasi, NFP dan unemployment rate merupakan dua hal yang berbeza dari cara pengukurannya.
Jadi belum tentu NFP bagus, unemployment rate juga bagus atau sebaliknya. Tapi memang logiknya, jika NFP bagus (naik),
tingkat pengangguran juga bagus (turun). NFP menghitung perubahan jumlah orang yang bekerja di luar sektor pertanian.
Sementara unemployment rate menghitung persen jumlah penduduk yang tidak bekerja atau sedang mencari pekerja

To-do-list after installing Debian

http://debianhelp.wordpress.com/2011/11/06/to-do-list-after-installing-debian-squeeze/


Debian is a computer operating system composed of software packages released as free and open source software primarily under the GNU General Public License along with other free software licenses. Debian GNU/Linux, which includes the GNU OS tools and Linux kernel, is a popular and influential Linux distribution. It is distributed with access to repositories containing thousands of software packages ready for installation and use. Debian is known for relatively strict adherence to the Unix and free software philosophies as well as using collaborative software development and testing processes. Debian can be used on a variety of hardware, from NAS devices to phones, laptops, desktops and servers. It focuses on stability and security and is used as a base for many other distributions. This guide was created primarily to help new Debian users transition quickly over from other operating systems, but is just as useful to even very experienced Linux users. When you are done installing everything on this list hopefully you will have everything you would probably find on other comparable commercially available operating systems. There was a step-by-step list written for Fedora many many years ago when I was first starting out learning about Linux OS and was the concept for this guide, and I always found this to be best way to do fresh installations of Linux on my own computers.
Existing Linux OS users can install Unetbootin from the repositories, and use that application to migrate your downloaded image to a USB Flash Drive or USB Thumb Drive and afterwards you can boot from your USB drive, or you can burn it to a disc with Brasero, or K3b, and boot from your CD/DVD drive instead. USB is much faster than CDs or DVDs when it comes to installation time, and less chance of data corruption.

Existing Windows OS users I recommend using a USB Flash Thumb Drive to install Debian *.ISO live hybrid (Recommended):
http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
Download:
First thing you want to do after installing Debian is update your system:

Special Note: If you need instructions on how to build your own server you may want to review:
http://woodel.com/

Special Note: Ice Weasel Web Browser (Identical to Firefox) will run VERY slow until you upgrade to the latest version of Ice Weasel Browser. After adding the repositories and upgrading the entire system, the first thing you should do is upgrade Ice Weasel Web Browser from 3* to 17* (Recommended)

Edit the repositories:.
Open a terminal and drop to root login (that is what the su command is for):
su
Enter your password and then:
gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
Delete everything listed in your sources.list file and copy the following:
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main
deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main
# squeeze-updates, previously known as 'volatile'
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze-updates main
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze-updates main
## Debian – Stable
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stable main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stable main contrib non-free
## Security Updates
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free
## Multimedia
deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org stable main non-free
deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org squeeze main non-free
deb http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports squeeze-backports main
deb http://mozilla.debian.net/ squeeze-backports iceweasel-release
Special Note: If you are outside the USA you can build your local list of repositories here:
http://debgen.simplylinux.ch/
Adding your repositories keys for the above source.list:

gpg --keyserver pgpkeys.mit.edu --recv-key 07DC563D1F41B907
gpg -a --export 07DC563D1F41B907 | apt-key add - 
gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-key 06C4AE2A
gpg -a --export 06C4AE2A | apt-key add -
Time to update the entire system and upgrade everything and reboot until no more updates are available after rebooting.
su
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get autoremove
You can set up automatic unattended-upgrades pretty easily by typing this in a terminal:
su
apt-get install unattended-upgrades
dpkg-reconfigure unattended-upgrades

What is smxi?
smxi is an interactive script designed to help people maintain their systems. It supports Debian (Stable, Testing, and Sid) and true Debian based distros (such as, but not limited to, AntiX, Aptosid, Epidemic, Linux Mint Debian [LMDE], Mepis). It does not support Ubuntu based distros because there are too many differences between Debian and Ubuntu.
Smxi is a feature rich, powerful script, and has the following primary features and options:
  • System Upgrades (dist-upgrade / upgrade)
  • Kernel upgrades / kernel module upgrades
  • Automatated video card driver installation (plus any needed patches), especially non-free drivers like nVidia and AMD/ATI fglrx
  • Installing extra software (including building a desktop/server from scratch, starting with just the base Debian system)
  • Removing certain software
  • Cleaning up your system (cleaning up apt archives, removing kernels/ kernel modules, cleaning system cruft, etc)
  • Tweaking your system, mozilla configurations, installing some small graphics tweaks, etc.
Run smxi below in terminal. When you arrive at the command line login with your user name and password and after you have changed to smxi script directory by using the cd /usr/local/bin command – run sudo smxi and then follow the prompts. sudo reboot will restart your system and take you (hopefully?) back into your Crunchbang desktop when you are done using smxi. You can use smxi as often as you want, but remember you will not have X Windows running or your desktop available while running smxi from the command line.  For more info about smxi:
http://smxi.org/site/about.htm
Here is how to install SMXI in Terminal:
cd /usr/local/bin && sudo wget -Nc smxi.org/smxi.zip && sudo unzip smxi.zip && sudo smxi
How to manually install Video drivers (without use of smxi script up above)

http://wiki.debian.org/ATIProprietary#Squeeze
su
aptitude -r install linux-headers-2.6-$(uname -r|sed 's,[^-]*-[^-]*-,,') fglrx-control fglrx-driver
aticonfig --initial
or
http://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers
"I don't use Nvidia video drivers so you will have to figure this out yourself"
If you are having video issues in general, make sure your video card is supported:

Essential tools for compiling from sources.
There are times when you need to compile software from sources, maybe because you need to compile the package with some specific option that is not enabled in the default package, or maybe the software application you wish to install isn’t available in any of your repositories. When you begin the installation process you will come to a window that will require you to accept the EULA to install, and you will need to click on your <Tab> key to select <OK> and press enter. (Here is a guide on how to compile software from source) and here are the required packages you need in order to compile sources in Debian:
su
apt-get install build-essential 
apt-get install autotools-dev cdbs check checkinstall dctrl-tools debian-keyring devscripts dh-make diffstat dput equivs libapt-pkg-perl libauthen-sasl-perl libclass-accessor-perl libclass-inspector-perl libcommon-sense-perl libconvert-binhex-perl libcrypt-ssleay-perl libdevel-symdump-perl libfcgi-perl libhtml-template-perl libio-pty-perl libio-socket-ssl-perl libio-string-perl libio-stringy-perl libipc-run-perl libjson-perl libjson-xs-perl libmime-tools-perl libnet-libidn-perl libnet-ssleay-perl libossp-uuid-perl libossp-uuid16 libparse-debcontrol-perl libparse-debianchangelog-perl libpod-coverage-perl libsoap-lite-perl libsub-name-perl libtask-weaken-perl libterm-size-perl libtest-pod-perl libxml-namespacesupport-perl libxml-sax-expat-perl libxml-sax-perl libxml-simple-perl libyaml-syck-perl lintian lzma patchutils strace wdiff
Auto Mount Windows NTFS Partitions

su
apt-get install ntfs-config
mkdir -p /etc/hal/fdi/policy
Uncomplicated Firewall (UFW & GUFW) (Recommended) is a firewall that is designed to be easy to use. It uses a command line interface consisting of a small number of simple commands, and uses iptables. iptables is already a very powerful tool by itself, but it’s syntax can get awkward at times and hard to figure out, so Ubuntu developers decided to make ufw (“The reason ufw was developed is that we wanted to create a server-level firewall utility that was a little bit more for `human beings`.”), which was to be simpler. Now, on the graphical side of things, Firestarter already existed. But why not make an even easier to use GUI for desktop `human beings`, powered by ufw?

This is where GUFW comes in.
Open your Terminal, copy and paste:
su
apt-get install gufw
GUFW is located in System >> Administration >> Firewall Configuration.
If you would like to simply use UFW from the command line, you can try any of these commands to make changes to your firewall.
To check your current settings:
ufw status verbose
To add basic firewall rules:
sudo ufw deny 5353/udp
sudo ufw deny 5900/tcp
sudo ufw deny 22
sudo ufw deny 25/tcp
sudo ufw deny 135,139,445/tcp
sudo ufw deny 137,138/udp
sudo ufw deny 110
sudo ufw deny 2049
sudo ufw deny 143
sudo ufw deny 21/tcp
sudo ufw deny ssh
To block Outgoing Ports Except Those Needed (This configuration will allow the following outbound ports: 20-21, 53, 80, 123, 443 which is all that is required for many users, unless you are running anything like a server):
sudo ufw deny out 1:19/tcp
sudo ufw deny out 1:19/udp
sudo ufw deny out 22:52/tcp
sudo ufw deny out 22:52/udp
sudo ufw deny out 54:79/tcp
sudo ufw deny out 54:79/udp
sudo ufw deny out 81:122/tcp
sudo ufw deny out 81:122/udp

Internet Web Browsers:

How to update to the latest Ice Weasel Browser (from 3.* to 17+)
su
apt-get install -t squeeze-backports iceweasel
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get autoremove
Here are some highly recommended add-ons for Ice Weasel:
Adblock Plus (plugin) (Highly Recommended)
Adblock Plus (ABP) is a content-filtering extension for Mozilla Ice Weasel and Google Chrome web browsers. ABP, a forked version of Adblock, allows users to prevent page elements, such as advertisements, from being downloaded and displayed. Very popular, and almost what I would consider to be a necessity, if you surf the Internet on a daily basis. Works great with sites like youtube.com and other similar web sites that bombard you with constant commercials. It will also allow you to import preconfigured blocklists to stop tracker web sites from monitoring your browser presence.
Password Exporter (plugin)
This extension allows you to export your saved passwords and disabled login hosts using XML or CSV files that can be imported later. Very helpful when needing to re-install Ubuntu onto a new system or migrating your data and personal information.
NetVideoHunter (plugin)
NetVideoHunter is a Ice Weasel add-on (extension), and you can easily download videos and audio from almost all audio and video streaming web pages with two clicks. Tested and considered to be probably the best plugin out of all the other similar plugins available for this kind of task.
HTTPS Everywhere (plugin)
HTTPS Everywhere is a Ice Weasel and Chrome extension that encrypts your communications with many major websites, making your browsing more secure.
Dictionaries & Language Packs (plugin) (Recommended)
Spell checking plugin for Mozilla Ice Weasel browser.

And for the rest of you diehard Firefox fans that still want Firefox instead of Ice Weasel (they are identical to each other in every way except branding) here is how you install the latest Firefox in Debian:
apt-get remove iceweasel
echo -e "\ndeb http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ubuntuzilla/mozilla/apt all main" | tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list > /dev/null
apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com C1289A29
apt-get update
apt-get install firefox-mozilla-build

SMPlayer intends to be a complete front-end for MPlayer, from basic features like playing videos, DVDs, and VCDs to more advanced features like support for MPlayer filters and more. One of the most interesting features of SMPlayer: it remembers the settings of all files you play. So you start to watch a movie but you have to leave. Don’t worry, when you open that movie again it will resume at the same point you left it, and with the same settings: audio track, subtitles, and volume. This is really great for watching DVD movies.

GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is a free software raster graphics editor. It is primarily employed as an image retouching and editing tool and is freely available in versions tailored for most popular operating systems including Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac OS X, and GNU/Linux. It has layering abilities like Photoshop.
In addition to detailed image retouching and free-form drawing, GIMP can accomplish essential image editing tasks such as resizing, editing, and cropping photos, photomontages combining multiple images, and converting between different image formats. GIMP can also be used to create basic animated images in the GIF format.
New additions in Gimp 2.8 are single window mode, on-canvas text editing, layers group, and to apply all changes to a layer grouping.
GIMP’s product vision is that GIMP is, or will become, a free software high-end graphics application for the editing and creation of original images, icons, graphical elements of web pages and art for user interface elements.
su
apt-get install gimp gimp-data gimp-data-extras
Access it through Applications → Graphics → GIMP Image Editor.
Special Note: If you want the latest version of Gimp, I have attempted to figure out a way to install the latest GIMP 2.8 in Debian Squeeze and I couldn’t find instructions that would work to allow me to successfully build it from scratch.  I was able to install Gimp 2.7, but it had problems too after testing it out. There really isn’t a way to get 2.8 on here without a huge hassle – AFAIK.

Compiz is a compositing window manager for the X Window System, using 3D graphics hardware to create fast compositing desktop effects for window management. Effects, such as a minimization animation or a cube workspace, are implemented as loadable plugins. Because it conforms to the ICCCM standard, Compiz can be used as a substitute for the default Mutter or Metacity, when using GNOME Panel, or KWin in KDE Plasma Workspaces.
Copy and paste the following command into Terminal:
apt-get install compiz compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-plugins
P2P Clients & Servers, File Sharing
Windows equivalent : Limewire, utorrent, Azureus, Emule, PeerGuardian
Ubuntu equivalent : Frostwire, Deluge, Azureus, Amule, Moblock/Mobloquer
BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer file sharing protocol used for distributing large amounts of data over the Internet. BitTorrent is one of the most common protocols for transferring large files, and it has been estimated that it accounted for roughly 43% to 70% of all Internet traffic (depending on geographical location) as of February 2009.
Frostwire
Windows equivalent: Limewire
FrostWire is a free, open source BitTorrent client, first released in September, 2004, as a fork of LimeWire. It was initially very similar to LimeWire in appearance and functionality, but developers added more features, such as BitTorrent support. In version Five, Gnutella support was dropped entirely, and now FrostWire only uses the BitTorrent network. Development of the program has been active since the program was first released in September 2004.
Install Frostwire:

Bittorrent Add-ons for Ubuntu:
Windows Equivalent: PeerGuardian (highly recommended for Bittorent users)
Ubuntu equivalent : PGL and PGLGUI
PeerGuardian Linux (pgl) is a privacy oriented firewall application. It blocks connections to and from hosts specified in huge blocklists (thousands or millions of IP ranges). Its origins lie in targeting aggressive IPs while you use P2P.
While you are installing PGL just accept the default settings for now. You can change them with PGLGUI after you are done installing everything.
To install PGL and PGLGUI in terminal (select the default settings by using the TAB key and pressing enter – there will be several prompts – just accept default settings and afterwards you can configure the blocklists):
Add these to your source.list:
deb http://moblock-deb.sourceforge.net/debian squeeze main 
deb-src http://moblock-deb.sourceforge.net/debian squeeze main
Update your system.
And then copy and paste in Terminal:
gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys C0145138
gpg --export --armor C0145138 | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get install pgld pglcmd pglgui
Make sure to enable your blocklists you want and update PGLGUI after you get it completely installed:

The first thing most users will notice after installing PGL and have it running is that their Pidgin/Empathy/IMclientOfChoice/WebBrowser stops working. PGLGUI log will list the IP’s and info about the IP’s, so just whitelist them if need be with one mouse click.

It is really a very strong utility and will block pretty much everything until you tell it to do otherwise. But you only need to run this when you are seeding or downloading torrent files.
Deluge Client is a full-featured BitTorrent client for Linux, OS X, Unix and Windows. It uses libtorrent in it’s backend and features multiple user-interfaces including: GTK+, web and console. It has been designed using the client server model with a daemon process that handles all the bittorrent activity.
The Deluge daemon is able to run on headless machines with the user-interfaces being able to connect remotely from any platform.
apt-get install deluge-torrent
Access it through Applications → Internet → Deluge Torrent.
Azureus Client: Uses Java to run, very complete but a bit heavy. And has a wide variety of add-ons to choose from too.
Vuze (formerly Azureus) is a P2P file sharing client using the bittorrent protocol. Search and download torrent files. Play, convert and transcode videos and music for playing on many devices such as PSP, TiVo, XBox, PS3, iTunes (iPhone, iPod, Apple TV).
apt-get install azureus
Access it through Applications → Internet → Azureus.

µTorrent Server is a very tiny BitTorrent server, super fast and ultra light. µTorrent’s built for speed. That means ultra-efficient downloads of mega-sized files. Untested in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
Go to µTorrent official site and download the Ubuntu installation package and use the following instructions to install µTorrent at:

They aren’t quite Ubuntu friendly, but they will help you get that on there.
BleachBit (recommended) quickly frees disk space and tirelessly guards your privacy. Free cache, delete cookies, clear Internet history, shred temporary files, delete logs, and discard junk you didn’t know was there. Designed for Linux and Windows systems, it wipes clean 90 applications including Firefox, Internet Explorer, Adobe Flash, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari, and more. I highly recommend installing this on your system at some point, and making sure to have it automatically run at system login as a reminder. Even though Ubuntu doesn’t have issues with Viruses and Spyware, however your system can become slowly bogged down with tmp cache files in Mozilla Firefox and Chrome with heavy use, so it makes sense to run bleachbit periodically to speed up your system.
Windows equivalent : CCleaner
Beyond simply deleting files, BleachBit includes advanced features such as shredding files to prevent recovery, wiping free disk space to hide traces of files deleted by other applications, and vacuuming Firefox to make it faster. Better than free, BleachBit is open source. If you have a system that seems to be running slower than normal, it’s always a good idea to try running Bleachbit to see if it may resolve your performance issues that you may be experiencing. I personally recommend that heavy internet users run this at least once or twice a month.
apt-get install bleachbit
bleachbit
