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. 122 contracts (avg 30 vol/day, 122 traded recently)

LGND averages only 30 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 put: the $290.00 09-18 put last traded $13.40 on 08/20 (now $10.40/$14.00) — try a limit near $12.20.
