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. 97 contracts (avg 146 vol/day, 97 traded recently)

VSEC averages only 146 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 $200.00 01-15 call last traded $46.20 on 06/18 (now $22.20/$25.50) — try a limit near $23.85. Also watch the $210.00 01-15 call last traded $37.20 on 07/14 (now $18.30/$22.50) — try a limit near $20.40; the $260.00 08-21 call last traded $1.75 on 07/17 (now $0.00/$2.55) — try a limit near $1.27. Most tradeable put: the $200.00 08-21 put last traded $16.08 on 07/23 (now $19.80/$23.30) — try a limit near $19.80.
