Historical option prices for this thinly-traded ticker. Live quotes are wide and stale — use where each contract actually traded plus its 30-day range to place a limit order. 115 contracts (avg 617 vol/day, 115 traded recently)

BNS averages only 617 option contracts/day, so quotes are thin and bid/ask spreads run wide. Use the last actually-traded price below to set a limit order rather than chasing the displayed ask. Most tradeable call: the $70.00 03-19 call last traded $23.84 on 09/15 (now $19.20/$23.10) — try a limit near $21.15. Also watch the $87.50 12-18 call last traded $8.47 on 09/17 (now $4.70/$6.60) — try a limit near $5.65; the $92.50 03-19 call last traded $7.30 on 09/21 (now $3.60/$5.40) — try a limit near $4.50. Most tradeable put: the $92.50 11-20 put last traded $1.90 on 09/21 (now $2.85/$5.20) — try a limit near $2.85.
