Frequently, the issuer has its limit set to 0 and the other account has a positive limit, but this is not reliable because limits can change without affecting an existing balance. +The ["issuer"](trust-lines-and-issuing.html) for the balance in a trust line depends on whether the balance is positive or negative.
