Take , a standard Brownian motion with . The Itô formula and giveIf this nonnegative stochastic process, which starts from zero, were a local martingale, question 4(i) would make it a supermartingale and force its expectation to be at most zero. But for . Hence a Stratonovich integral is in general not a local martingale.
