I use SQL to build tables to store data for quantitative analysis and sometimes for reporting purposes as well. It has a pretty good reporting tool SQL-SRS
{Xn} is an iid sequence
Suppose {F(n)} is a filtration and {Xn} is "adapted" to {Fn}
then {Xn} would be a martingale if
E[Xn] < infinity and
E[xn+1/Fn] = Xn
So being an iid is more likely a prerequisite for a martingale, you can clearly see its a necessary but not a sufficient condition.
I will try to explain just using words. This is a basic definition-
A martingale is a stochastic process with sequential variables where expected value of each variable is the same and independent of previous observations.
It was originally developed to demonstrate fairness of gambling games...
