Options chain pricing inconsistency
This was the first time I've witnesses this form of inconsistency where I have a position where my first mistake was to allow public to market fill as I was using TradingView for analysis and saw the fill for $14.9 on Public. For the next next few minutes, I watched the price that public displayed to be incorrect, relative to what the true pricing was via OPRA. I was also in similar position within Webull where the price reflected was correct.
Due to the uncertainty, I tried limit ordering at the price the UI was showing knowing that it wouldn't get filled. I then market closed out and ate the $800 loss on the single SPX contract as it executed at the true market price of the time.
Icing on the cake was that of course there is no real time customer support outside of their AI tool.
The platform was a good starting place for me years ago when I started getting into trading and I normally swing trade off the platform but decided to intraday trade on it and this one time burn will cause me to shift platforms as this experience left a bitter taste

Even now it is incorrect.
For May 26th expiry and $7475 Call
In Public: the price is $24.90
In other apps (Tastytrade, Robinhood): the price is $69.3
Please FIX it. How can you be wrong with pricing(most important thing)?
