Motivated by hedging considerations from mathematical finance, the authors give a new proof of the Burkholder-Davis-Gundy (BDG) inequalities, which give a comparison between the running maximum of a martingale and its quadratic variation. The inequalities are obtained as a consequence of deterministic inequalities which are then applied pathwise to the given martingale. Taking expectations in these inequalities then yields the BDG inequalities.
