Let $\mathbf{X}_1,\mathbf{X}_2,\cdots$ be a stochastic sequence and $\mathscr{P}$ and $\mathscr{L}$, two composite parametric hypotheses (models) under which the $\mathbf{X}_i$ are i.i.d. We consider SPRTs of $\mathscr{P}$ vs $\mathscr{L}$ that depend on a sequence of exchangeable densities. Included are SPRTs obtained by the method of weight-functions (Bayesian procedures) and many SPRTs obtained by invariance reduction. Conditions are established under which the stopping time of such a procedure is almost surely finite and has a nontrivial mgf. The ideas are illustrated using the sequential $t$-test.
