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.

If you are looking free and easy way to get frequently alerts on crypto price,use coindera.com.
Coindera.com is an elegant way where you can make alerts criteria of your choice either.Has both the free and pro modes with sms nitifications option

Not sure about hourly, but you can use IFTTT to get a daily notification / text / email about the price: https://ifttt.com/chain

Haven't came across such an service that gives alert about the price variations of bitcoin happening with time. There are few applications that give updates regarding the different currencies that we have been invested into. One among the popular application is the blockfolio.

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.

iam also looking for a tool like that iam happy to find it here the information is amazing i will try it if i dont understand i will pm you thanks

Wow This is awesome. It is of a great use for almost all of us who can't manage to sit all the time in front of a computer system to look at the crypto prices for the purpose of trading. 
I will definitely look for it in the future as currently I don't have enough investment in trading and alts, I have a very little value holdings of the alts but still i think it will be helpful.
Thanks for sharing such a nice information.

Very good information sir. I will visit the web coindera.com it and will learn how it works. Thanks for the recommendation, this must be very useful for me.

Not sure if it is what are you looking for, but you can check application from my signature.. ;)

Today the price of bitcoin has already dropped below the threshold of $ 3,900 and I think that Izvestia about the fluctuations in the exchange rate will help very few people in anything.

Yes, as the second person said, Preev can be a tool for that, though I’m not sure if they offer anything like price alert. But at least, one good thing about them is that their price is always accurate. Even mobile wallets like Coinbasecan do such, but the way it works is a little different. That one you have to set a particular amount to be alarmed for.

Why don't you use app/widget that updates automatically every hour/minute? bitcoin checker is a nice app, check it out! anyways if you still want to get an email or sms every hour, i recommend you to code a php script and run a cron job.

Coindera isn't a free tool, to get updates hourly one has to pay them $5 a month.

i am using bot in telegram alert with every change at exchange try it will send the invitation link privately but also try to use mind alert based on knowledge of markets history  .

I use cryptoping

Free Crypto Alerts send alerts by SMS to phones for free and there is no need to subscribe to a paid SMS service. They provide a sms test where you enter your mobile/cell number and they send you a test sms. If you receive the test message you are good to use the system.   It;'s very easy to setup alerts. https://freecryptoalerts.com/
