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. 132 contracts (avg 988 vol/day, 132 traded recently)

CNP averages only 988 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 $40.00 09-18 call last traded $0.51 on 08/21 (now $0.30/$0.55) — try a limit near $0.43. Also watch the $42.00 09-18 call last traded $0.10 on 08/21 (now $0.00/$0.10) — try a limit near $0.05. Most tradeable put: the $41.00 01-15 put last traded $2.30 on 08/20 (now $2.55/$2.85) — try a limit near $2.55.
