ii
Take the stopping times
Sn​=inf{t≥0:∣Mt​∣≥n},inf∅=∞.​
(1)
Continuity gives ∣Mt∧Sn​​∣≤n, with no overshoot at the first crossing. Stopping preserves the local martingale property, and the bounded case proved in question 4(i) makes each MSn​ a continuous true martingale.
Every continuous path is bounded on each compact time interval, so Sn​↑∞ almost surely. Hence this is also a localizing sequence consisting of bounded stopped martingales.
