Many discrete martingales with increments in $L_2$ can be normalized so that the resulting trajectory is distributed approximately like Brownian motion. This paper will find all such martingales, subject to a natural side condition. Two techniques of normalization are possible: The usual one involving the partial sums of conditional variances of the increments given the past, and the analogous method using the partial sums of squares of the increments. This result is applied to obtain a central limit theorem and an arc sin law for dependent random variables.
