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. 79 contracts (avg 130 vol/day, 79 traded recently)

ESS averages only 130 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 $300.00 10-16 call last traded $4.50 on 08/07 (now $2.65/$5.30) — try a limit near $3.97. Most tradeable put: the $290.00 09-18 put last traded $8.04 on 08/07 (now $4.80/$6.90) — try a limit near $5.85.
