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 $1.25/$1.55) — try a limit near $1.25. Also watch the $47.00 11-20 call last traded $0.90 on 07/16 (now $1.05/$1.35) — try a limit near $1.05; the $40.00 11-20 call last traded $4.31 on 06/12 (now $4.70/$6.70) — try a limit near $4.70. Most tradeable put: the $44.00 08-21 put last traded $1.25 on 07/17 (now $0.80/$1.20) — try a limit near $1.00.
