  1. wondering if I'm blind or is this trade too good to be true.

    TZA @13.60 current price
    Nov 28 13.50 CALL 1.15
    Nov 28 13.50 PUT 0.4

    This looks like an arbitrage risk free profit...or is bigcharts glitched out?

    Are those last sales or where you can do that trade by taking the offers in the put/stock and sell the bid on the call? This is not the best source for NBBO markets. Plus, you left out the column headers.
     

  3. from what i know they are last sales. right side is puts and left side is calls.

    far lefts column on respective sides are last sale. last 2-3 columns on right of respective sides are bid ask

    It's not a trade you can put on with the spreads in place. You should not look at last sale. You have to look at the current market. Last sale could have been 1 second or 1 day earlier. With electronic trading and hundreds of remote option MM, you will never be able to enter a risk-less spread without execution risk. Not even worth looking for trades like that.

    When in doubt get quotes from your broker.
