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. 59 contracts (avg 104 vol/day, 57 traded recently)

ESS averages only 104 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 $310.00 01-15 call last traded $6.50 on 08/04 (now $4.80/$5.60) — try a limit near $5.20. Also watch the $290.00 10-16 call last traded $8.70 on 08/07 (now $4.20/$7.40) — try a limit near $5.80; the $300.00 10-16 call last traded $3.20 on 08/21 (now $0.10/$3.80) — try a limit near $1.95. Most tradeable put: the $260.00 10-16 put last traded $2.96 on 08/13 (now $0.65/$3.80) — try a limit near $2.23.
