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 $42.00 09-18 call last traded $1.95 on 07/21 (now $1.20/$1.45) — try a limit near $1.33. Also watch the $42.00 08-21 call last traded $2.13 on 07/22 (now $0.60/$1.10) — try a limit near $0.85; the $43.00 08-21 call last traded $1.50 on 07/22 (now $0.05/$0.55) — try a limit near $0.30. Most tradeable put: the $42.00 09-18 put last traded $0.90 on 07/22 (now $1.10/$1.35) — try a limit near $1.10.
