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. 101 contracts (avg 398 vol/day, 100 traded recently)

SLM averages only 398 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 $25.00 09-18 call last traded $2.47 on 07/01 (now $2.50/$3.20) — try a limit near $2.50. Also watch the $26.00 01-15 call last traded $2.55 on 07/30 (now $2.60/$3.60) — try a limit near $2.60; the $30.00 09-18 call last traded $0.50 on 07/14 (now $0.35/$0.50) — try a limit near $0.43. Most tradeable put: the $25.00 11-20 put last traded $2.10 on 07/27 (now $1.15/$1.40) — try a limit near $1.27.
