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. 73 contracts (avg 128 vol/day, 73 traded recently)

ESS averages only 128 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 $290.00 10-16 call last traded $8.70 on 07/30 (now $6.50/$10.00) — try a limit near $8.25. Also watch the $300.00 10-16 call last traded $9.65 on 07/28 (now $2.60/$5.80) — try a limit near $4.20. Most tradeable put: the $280.00 09-18 put last traded $6.75 on 07/30 (now $2.45/$5.20) — try a limit near $3.83.
