The assertion is false without a boundedness or uniform integrability condition. Take the upper half-planeand . This function is harmonic and continuous on , with boundary value . The second coordinate of planar Brownian motion is one-dimensional Brownian motion, so its first hitting time of zero is finite almost surely. NeverthelessThe stopped local martingale is not uniformly integrable, which is exactly why optional stopping fails in the limit.
