Let be a right-continuous continuous-time martingale with . Restricting it to the nonnegative rational times gives a countable martingale. The argument of part (b), applied on successively finer rational grids, shows that it has a finite almost-sure limit as the rational time tends to infinity. Right-continuity and the upcrossing characterization prevent the values at arbitrary times from having a different limit. Thus converges almost surely to a finite integrable random variable as , which is the Continuous-time martingale convergence theorem.
