Just looking for price alerts for BTC and BCH sent every hour or maybe every few hours.

Any free tools for this? email or sms is fine

I think you can write this pretty simply yourself. Use the live updating data from preev for btc if needed. You can pull that info and send it as a notification to your own email or use a service for sms'ing it to yourself. Also one other thing is that if you simply search btc to usd on google, you should be able to get a quick update directly on the browser.

I am interested in this too, can you give us a guide on how we can make this happen? I'd like an SMS straight to my phone every hour or a defined time.
This is a pretty good idea, especially I always watch the prices if it is going up or down but sometimes I forget to watch the prices and I lose the
opportunity to buy or sell.

Sure. You can pull data from preev for example. FIlter out the data for what you need -- the btc to usd conversion amount. Then use AWS or Heroku to implement an sms system that sends updates to your messages. Here are some resources you can look into for the sms part: https://elements.heroku.com/addons/blowerio

Also, you need to make sure all this keeps repeating over and over again so that you don't end up stopping the notification alerts.

Awesome! I will definitely look into this. That would totally be a great way to know prices on the fly.
I just hope it isn't too complicated, as I am not really a coder or even an enthusiast when it comes to coding and doing such stuff.
But I will definitely try it and I hope I do get it to work.
