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. 97 contracts (avg 327 vol/day, 97 traded recently)

CNP averages only 327 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 $44.00 08-21 call last traded $1.10 on 07/17 (now $0.65/$0.75) — try a limit near $0.70. Also watch the $43.00 08-21 call last traded $1.28 on 07/17 (now $1.00/$1.25) — try a limit near $1.13; the $45.00 11-20 call last traded $2.51 on 06/29 (now $1.20/$1.50) — try a limit near $1.35. Most tradeable put: the $42.00 08-21 put last traded $0.60 on 07/17 (now $0.60/$1.05) — try a limit near $0.60.
