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. 62 contracts (avg 98 vol/day, 62 traded recently)

ESS averages only 98 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 04-16 call last traded $10.50 on 08/28 (now $8.10/$12.00) — try a limit near $10.05. Also watch the $290.00 10-16 call last traded $4.80 on 08/28 (now $2.60/$4.50) — try a limit near $3.55. Most tradeable put: the $250.00 01-15 put last traded $3.90 on 08/20 (now $4.20/$5.90) — try a limit near $4.20.
