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. 115 contracts (avg 323 vol/day, 115 traded recently)

MTH averages only 323 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 $85.00 08-21 call last traded $5.17 on 07/01 (now $1.00/$2.30) — try a limit near $1.65. Most tradeable put: the $75.00 09-18 put last traded $5.37 on 07/08 (now $4.60/$5.90) — try a limit near $5.25.
