If $E(X_n^2)<infty$, then for a Martingale $E(X_n^2)<M$ iff $sum_{n=1}^infty...

Let ${X_n}_{ngeq0}$ be a martingale with $E(X_n^2)<infty$ for all $n$. How to prove that:



$E(X_n^2)<M$ for all $n$, if and only if $sum_{n=1}^infty E[(X_n-X_{n-1})^2]<infty$.



The hunch is to use the optional stopping time theorem, but it's hard to see how to apply it to the case. A tip is very much appreciated.

          It is in fact related to the quadratic variation process of $X_n$. Note that
          $$
          X_n^2 - sum_{k=0}^n E[(X_k-X_{k-1})^2;|mathcal{F}_{k-1}],quad ngeq0,
          $$
          is a ${mathcal{F}_n}$-martingale.

          By the martingale property you can show
          $$E[(X_n - X_{n-1})^2] = E[X_n^2] - E[X_{n-1}^2].$$
