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. 96 contracts (avg 760 vol/day, 96 traded recently)

BNS averages only 760 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 $92.50 11-20 call last traded $1.62 on 10/16 (now $2.50/$3.00) — try a limit near $2.50. Also watch the $92.50 12-18 call last traded $3.20 on 10/16 (now $3.50/$4.50) — try a limit near $3.50; the $95.00 12-18 call last traded $1.35 on 10/14 (now $2.30/$3.00) — try a limit near $2.30. Most tradeable put: the $90.00 12-18 put last traded $3.10 on 10/14 (now $1.40/$1.85) — try a limit near $1.63.
