The following information will help you to better understand the relation between the terms "ASK / SELLER / BID" and "BID / BUYER / ASK".
Let's assume that you open a long position "on the market". You will pay the ASK price for this instrument, whereas a seller will receive the BID price.
If you wish to sell the instrument again, you will receive the BID price and a buyer will pay ASK price.
