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. 102 contracts (avg 49 vol/day, 80 traded recently)

MORN averages only 49 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 $155.00 12-18 call last traded $19.51 on 06/26 (now $49.50/$53.40) — try a limit near $49.50. Also watch the $160.00 09-18 call last traded $9.90 on 06/22 (now $40.50/$44.00) — try a limit near $40.50; the $150.00 08-21 call last traded $9.70 on 06/22 (now $48.10/$52.50) — try a limit near $48.10. Most tradeable put: the $190.00 12-18 put last traded $25.91 on 06/15 (now $13.70/$18.40) — try a limit near $16.05.
