Besides VIX, what other securities are "forward-looking"?

Any pointers?

Many thanks!

some of these?

 

Why do you think VIX is forward-looking? High VIX values point to an expectation of a large move but nothing can be said about the direction. Ths is hardly "forward-looking".

what else can you use?

 

As "forward-looking", nothing really. The only thing that can come close to "forward-looking" in the case of trading is high probability setups.

 

Try a crystal ball mizhael.

And the VIX is not a security.

 

all stocks, futures, commodities are forward-looking

 

Discounting the future and looking into the future are not the same thing.
