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 91 vol/day, 96 traded recently)

WAT averages only 91 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 $400.00 09-18 call last traded $12.00 on 07/22 (now $16.20/$22.00) — try a limit near $16.20. Also watch the $400.00 08-21 call last traded $10.00 on 07/31 (now $7.50/$14.10) — try a limit near $10.00; the $410.00 08-21 call last traded $10.00 on 07/29 (now $3.00/$9.50) — try a limit near $6.25. Most tradeable put: the $390.00 08-21 put last traded $20.90 on 07/28 (now $5.00/$9.30) — try a limit near $7.15.
