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. 100 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 $0.80/$1.00) — try a limit near $0.90. Also watch the $43.00 08-21 call last traded $1.28 on 07/17 (now $1.30/$1.65) — try a limit near $1.30; the $48.00 11-20 call last traded $1.25 on 06/29 (now $0.60/$0.85) — try a limit near $0.73. Most tradeable put: the $42.00 08-21 put last traded $0.60 on 07/17 (now $0.30/$1.10) — try a limit near $0.60.
