continuous local martingale brownian motion
$begingroup$
$B$ is a one-dimensional Brownian motion and $X_t$ is defined as$\$
$X_t:=f_{1-t}(B_t)$, $0le t<1$ and $0$, $1le t<infty$ where $f_s(x)=frac{1}{sqrt{2pi s}}e^{-frac{x^2}{2s}}$. I have to show that $X$ is a continuous local martingale.
$f$ is continuous as a combination of continuous functions. I tried to use Ito's Formula, but i cannot see how it helps me. I also tried to show that it is a martingale by using stopping times.
I would be thankful for any help.

Ito's lemma is one way to prove it. Using the definition of $f_{1-t}$, we have
$$X_t = f_{1-t}(B_t) = frac{1}{sqrt{2pi (1-t)}} expleft{frac{-B_t^2}{2(1-t)}right }:=F(t,B_t),$$
and according to Ito's lemma:
$$dX_t = dF(t,B_t) = left(frac{partial F}{partial t}+frac{1}{2}frac{partial^2 F}{partial B_t^2}right)dt+ frac{partial F}{partial B_t}dW_t.$$
Computing the partial derivatives:
begin{align}
frac{partial F}{partial t} &= frac{expleft{frac{-B_t^2}{2(1-t)}right}}{2sqrt{2pi(1-t)}}left(frac{1}{1-t}-frac{B_t^2}{(1-t)^2}right) \
frac{partial F}{partial B_t} &= frac{expleft{frac{-B_t^2}{2(1-t)}right}}{sqrt{2pi(1-t)}} left(frac{-B_t}{1-t}right) \
frac{partial^2 F}{partial B_t^2} &= frac{expleft{frac{-B_t^2}{2(1-t)}right}}{sqrt{2pi(1-t)}} left(frac{-1}{1-t}+frac{B_t^2}{(1-t)^2}right).
end{align}
It follows that
$$frac{partial F}{partial t}+frac{1}{2}frac{partial^2 F}{partial B_t} = 0.$$
Hence, we obtain
$$dX_t = -frac{B_t}{1-t}X_tdW_t,$$
which implies that $X_t$ is a (continuous) local martingale ($X_t$ is a stochastic integral w.r.t Brownian motion).
