The solution is to use a limit order, I always use limit orders. That way I always know the maximum I will pay to buy a stock, or the minimum I will accept to sell.

You could specify a limit order, with the limit above the ask. For your example say you want to buy stock. If the ask was $22.30 then specify a limit of $22.40 instead of "market" order. The limit might need to be set higher if the stock has upwards momentum, however.
