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. 48 contracts (avg 33 vol/day, 47 traded recently)

STE averages only 33 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 $230.00 09-18 call last traded $4.30 on 06/25 (now $10.20/$12.90) — try a limit near $10.20. Also watch the $230.00 08-21 call last traded $7.15 on 07/28 (now $8.00/$10.50) — try a limit near $8.00; the $240.00 08-21 call last traded $3.44 on 07/31 (now $3.20/$5.70) — try a limit near $3.44. Most tradeable put: the $210.00 09-18 put last traded $2.80 on 07/29 (now $2.05/$4.60) — try a limit near $2.80.
