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 08-21 call last traded $7.15 on 07/28 (now $4.20/$6.30) — try a limit near $5.25. Most tradeable put: the $220.00 09-18 put last traded $11.90 on 07/20 (now $3.00/$5.20) — try a limit near $4.10.
