Thanks for the feedback.

I didn't realize how popular Telegram was.  I'll look more into it.  Thanks.

Thanks everyone for the feedback so far.  It's very helpful.

What I understood so far:

• Some of you prefer a mobile app because you don't live in your inbox like me.
• 5% fixed percentage feels too rigid and you want to be able to tweak it.
• Some people are traders and need real-time alerts that they can use to time their trades (a daily email is too late)

I'm not a trader–I'm a buy-and-hold investor (a.k.a hoarder  ).  That's why a daily email is all I needed to keep an eye on my position.

What tools are the other hoarders using?

That's a really good idea.  I was going to make the percentage customizable in a later update, but I think you're right about having two different percentages based on the direction.  That's a better solution.

Thanks,

I hear you.  Especially when its as volatile as BTC.   

But I personally find I sleep better when I don't look at my investments day-to-day.  I want to be notified when my positions make big moves, otherwise I don't want to know that it's trading sideways for weeks.

Hey guys,

My name is Marc, and I just created this side project that might interest some of you.  https://www.monitorbitcoin.com.

It monitors daily the price of bitcoin in your currency and only sends you an email notification if the price has moved 5% since your last email notification.  It's simple, but I've found it so useful.

Background story: I'm a long-term "buy-and-hold" investor, but I still couldn't prevent my neurosis of checking the price daily (ok, that's a lie, I would check it more than once a day).  Anyway, I created a small prototype and ran it for months... and I loved it!  I was finally able to relax and just let it ride.  So, I decided to polish it up and make it available, for free, to others who might also want to take a break from the neurosis of checking the price constantly.

Anyway, check it out if you want to receive Bitcoin price alerts, and please leave me your feedback here. 

Marc
