 where we used in the second inequality that $(X_n)$ is non-negative and in the third inequality that $(X_{\tau_\epsilon \wedge n})$ is a supermartingale. The proof then follows by letting $n$ goes to infinity. ​ where we used in the second inequality that $(X_n)$ is non-negative and in the third inequality that $(X_{\tau_\epsilon \wedge n})$ is a supermartingale.
