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. 89 contracts (avg 127 vol/day, 72 traded recently)

ESS averages only 127 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 $165.00 10-16 call last traded $127.70 on 07/09 (now $128.60/$132.90) — try a limit near $128.60. Also watch the $200.00 01-15 call last traded $84.79 on 06/25 (now $94.60/$98.20) — try a limit near $94.60; the $240.00 10-16 call last traded $55.29 on 07/21 (now $55.50/$58.80) — try a limit near $55.50. Most tradeable put: the $290.00 01-15 put last traded $16.50 on 07/08 (now $13.90/$17.50) — try a limit near $15.70.
