A trade represents a fulfilled offer. For example, let’s say that there exists an offer to sell 9 foo_bank/EUR for 3 baz_exchange/BTC and you make an offer to buy 3 foo_bank/EUR for 1 baz_exchange/BTC. Since your offer and the existing one cross, a trade happens. After the trade completes:
- you are 3
foo_bank/EUR richer and 1 baz_exchange/BTC poorer
- the maker of the other offer is 1
baz_exchange/BTC richer and 3 foo_bank/EUR poorer
- your offer is completely fulfilled and no longer exists
- the other offer is partially fulfilled and becomes an offer to sell 6
foo_bank/EUR for 2 baz_exchange/BTC. The price of that offer doesn’t change, but the amount does.
Trades can also be caused by successful path payments, because path payments involve fulfilling offers.
Payments are one-way in that afterwards, the source account has a smaller balance and the destination account of the payment has a bigger one. Trades are two-way; both accounts increase and decrease their balances.
A trade occurs between two parties - base and counter. Which is which is either arbitrary or determined by the calling query.

Synthetic Offer Ids
Offer ids in the horizon trade resource (base_offer_id, counter_offer_id) are synthetic and don’t always reflect the respective stellar-core offer ids. This is due to the fact that stellar-core does not assign offer ids when an offer gets filled immediately. In these cases, Horizon synthetically generates an offer id for the buying offer, based on the total order id of the offer operation. This allows wallets to aggregate historical trades based on offer ids without adding special handling for edge cases. The exact encoding can be found here.
