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. 105 contracts (avg 128 vol/day, 104 traded recently)

VSEC averages only 128 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 08-21 call last traded $9.70 on 07/29 (now $20.90/$24.00) — try a limit near $20.90. Also watch the $230.00 08-21 call last traded $3.20 on 07/29 (now $5.70/$9.30) — try a limit near $5.70; the $260.00 08-21 call last traded $0.20 on 07/29 (now $0.25/$2.70) — try a limit near $0.25. Most tradeable put: the $230.00 08-21 put last traded $39.59 on 07/31 (now $20.10/$24.00) — try a limit near $22.05.
