I try to explain myself better and more simply:

first estimation
dataset excel:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

insample:

1 2 3 4 5

forecast:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

second estimation same model
dataset excel:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

insample:

1 2 3 4 5

forecast:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

Then, DIFFERENT OUTPUT INSAMPLE

I'll also point out that re-estimating the same equation on the same data will also, probably, give different estimates and then produce different forecasts, since a) you're using random starting values, and b) your estimates didn't converge.

In my work add a new observation in excel dataset day by day and every day refresh the excel dataset and estimate every time the model, but with same parameters and same in sample dataset.

a) you're using random starting values


Why gareth?


I use a precise in sample dataset, no random starting values

The in sample dataset its always the same.
the only thing that changes is the total dataset, in particular out of sample dataset which present new observation every time.

Please look at your equation output carefully. Reading every line and understanding every line.

I still do not understand why you talk about random starting values

I make another clarification, if it is not possible to obtain a stable in-sample estimate, then the forecast function is totally useless.
you think?

Non-normality and collinearity are NOT problems!

starts the value are every time the same.
I never change the value of the series in sample.
Only add a observation out of sample.
The value of in sample are same always

Please look, the value are same always.

first estimation
dataset excel:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

insample:

1 2 3 4 5

forecast:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

second estimation same model
dataset excel:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

insample:

1 2 3 4 5

forecast:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

I use a different model in eviews, ex garch but i have a problem only with switch regression.
In garch model and forecast the output is always same if i use the same in sample dataset.

Probably more accurate to say that it is not a good idea for you to use Markov Switching
