• What features of the Zecco mobile app set it apart from the rest of the pack?

MAIL CALL Mark and Dan answer questions from Zecco's Facebook community including:

• From Arsalan: If I buy a call option and when it is time to exercise it, will that be done automatically (from the strike price or by the cost basis price, which would be the premium+strike?) or will I need to do something, as well as if I don't have the buying power to exercise the option, what happens, can I just have it buy and sell the stock right then and there and just have the profit.

• From Mike: Is Delta a measure of how much the option moves in relation to the stock? Example. A delta of 0.7 would mean if the stock moves 10%, the option would move 7%?
