{title2=$\mathbb E(D_j\mid\mathcal F_{j-1})=0$}

A time-indexed increment $D_j$ with $\mathbb E(D_j\mid\mathcal F_{j-1})=0$ is a martingale difference relative to its history. Square-integrable differences at different indices are orthogonal, allowing their conditional variances to accumulate. They need not be independent.
