Sell when the stock reaches 19$, or keep it until 24$ if you are more bullish in your own analysis. It is highly recommended to keep the position on check if it goes sour.

The contracts should be kept until the underlying reaches around 19$. This should provide a satisfactory return if the underlying reaches the target price as the contracts will get in the money.
