They should be picked as soon as they are red, otherwise the birds will start eating them. I usually pick mine just as the completely turn red, if not a day or two before. They will continue to turn red after they are picked, but you won't have to worry about birds.

No more than a few days. After that they begin to become over ripe, not to mention are at greater risk of being gobbled up by a tomato thieving critter.

Pick your tomatoes as soon as you see a little color on the end opposite the stem end. They will ripen just fine and taste wonderful if you pick them then and bring them inside where the birds and insects can't get to them and let them ripen totally. I never intentionally leave my tomatoes on the plant until it is totally ripe.

Some people like them green. Once they start to turn you can take them off. When the red has reached the stem they are ready to eat. YuMMY!

Even if they have a tinge green left, it's OK to pick them but you might want to put them on the window sill for a couple of days more.

If they are ripe you should pick them within the week or they will start to rot or birds try to eat them etc.

I usually allow them to get near-ripe, then bring them inside where they ripen in a day or so.
