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. 117 contracts (avg 463 vol/day, 117 traded recently)

CNP averages only 463 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 09-18 call last traded $1.55 on 07/23 (now $0.60/$1.70) — try a limit near $1.15. Also watch the $44.00 08-21 call last traded $1.35 on 07/24 (now $0.10/$0.70) — try a limit near $0.40; the $44.00 11-20 call last traded $2.10 on 07/06 (now $0.40/$3.50) — try a limit near $1.95. Most tradeable put: the $45.00 12-18 put last traded $3.00 on 07/09 (now $2.95/$3.90) — try a limit near $3.00.
