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. 85 contracts (avg 288 vol/day, 85 traded recently)

MTH averages only 288 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 $65.00 09-18 call last traded $14.70 on 07/17 (now $9.60/$11.10) — try a limit near $10.35. Most tradeable put: the $70.00 08-21 put last traded $2.37 on 07/14 (now $2.30/$2.85) — try a limit near $2.37.
