This is called "trading between the chalk marks". Look at how the stock has been trading, and see what the spread is usually as how fast a stock will grow, and when other people will "take their profit" and sell.
Or you can set "hard" limits on your trading, like "I will sell 50% of my stock when it gains 25%." That fixed position will help you at least lock in your profit at a predetermined price.

I hope you're not using an online broker. If you don't know this than you shouldn't be investing on your own.
Each broker is different. Look for "stop loss/order"

Tell your broker you want options and give him/her your call and/or put prices.
