Abstract

Shafer and Vovk introduce in their book \cite{ShaferVovk:2018} the notion of \emph{instant enforcement} and \emph{instantly blockable} properties. However, they do not associate these notions with any outer measure, unlike what Vovk did in the case of sets of ''typical'' price paths. In this paper we introduce an outer measure on the space [0,+\ns)×Ω[0, +\ns) \times \Omega which assigns zero value exactly to those sets (properties) of pairs of time tt and an elementary event ω\omega which are instantly blockable. Next, for a slightly modified measure, we prove It\^o's isometry and BDG inequalities, and then use them to define an It\^o-type integral. Additionally, we prove few properties for the quadratic variation of model-free, continuous martingales, which hold with instant enforcement.
