Most large online brokerages allow you to set "alerts" when a stock hits a certain price target, crosses a moving average, increases or decreases a certain percentage, etc. I'm not aware of any free website that lets you do this, however.
BTW, I don't think the OP's post was spam. If you look at their post history, that is typically how they post (subject headline at the top separated with lines below, then the question).
The interface for my asset alert is when my wife is all too sweet. I can even make a dumb mistake and it's ok...and wouldn't I like to run out for a bite to eat that just happens to be in the same mall as all of the expensive stores.
Revolving red light with a siren asset alert. Know the signs. Know what to do in event of an emergency.
I just use the "alerts" feature in my Fidelity account. If i want to buy a stock at $20 that is currently at $23, I just set the alert up to let me know if it drops below $20.25. That gives me time to set up a buy order. If I own a stock but am not sure about holding long term, I'll set up an alert to let me know if it goes up a certain percentage. Then I can decide to sell or not.
Alerts come to my phone or email or both - they let you choose.

Aware of it but don't use it. I watch the market much too much already.
It is an expensive hobby.
