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. 73 contracts (avg 128 vol/day, 73 traded recently)

ESS averages only 128 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 10-16 call last traded $6.20 on 07/21 (now $1.85/$3.00) — try a limit near $2.42. Also watch the $290.00 08-21 call last traded $1.74 on 07/31 (now $2.80/$5.20) — try a limit near $2.80; the $300.00 09-18 call last traded $7.60 on 07/21 (now $1.95/$4.40) — try a limit near $3.18. Most tradeable put: the $280.00 09-18 put last traded $6.75 on 07/30 (now $4.50/$5.90) — try a limit near $5.20.
