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. 123 contracts (avg 720 vol/day, 123 traded recently)

CNP averages only 720 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 $46.00 12-18 call last traded $1.20 on 07/29 (now $0.65/$0.80) — try a limit near $0.73. Also watch the $42.00 08-21 call last traded $1.05 on 07/31 (now $0.55/$1.05) — try a limit near $0.80; the $42.00 09-18 call last traded $1.55 on 07/30 (now $0.65/$1.30) — try a limit near $0.98. Most tradeable put: the $42.00 09-18 put last traded $1.22 on 07/30 (now $1.10/$1.50) — try a limit near $1.22.
