    It all depends on YOU. If you have invested in fundamentally strong stocks with a long term view then booking profits should not come to your mind..rather look at opportunities to further consolidate your portfolio. However, if you have some fundamentally weak stocks which have run up more than they should, you can book some profits to get into better stocks.

    The first step is to know the right stocks and you can do that by reading my following articles

    https://shabbir.in/investment-checklist/
    and
    https://shabbir.in/fundamental-analysis/

    Once the stock qualifies the above checklist and analysis, I analyze the business on the following parameters

    Moreover, here are some investing rules to follow:

    https://shabbir.in/rules-investing/

    And then the ratio I use to evaluate the stock

    Finally comes the understanding of technical analysis based on price action which gives us the right price.

    To understand technical analysis to invest in the right stocks at the right price and for the right time - my book should help.
