Astab Anchored Stability. (legacy)  Anchored parameter stability in a walk forward test. >=40 is preferred. Also see Rstab

The logic behind this is in a good trading system, the best parameter should be find quickly, and remain stable as possible over numerous Walk Forward runs. Inversely if a parameter in a trading system is not stable, its less likely to be robust or stable.

Astab-C. This is Anchored parameter stability coarse. This gives some tolerance in parameter stability, before the Astab-C score os degraded.

For example average(close,x). If x was 99 vs 100 Astab would be degraded. Astab-C would not. But if x was 2 vs 3, Astab-C score would be.
