The paper applies those techniques for time series forecasting. I don't think it would be too difficult to evolve a NN to predict one or two days out for a particular stock.
You are right, to predict something that looks to be usable is not a problem - see the applets at the site about prediction using neural networks that includes sample data for trading. But this is not all - if the prediction looks to be sufficient, it is also necessary to develop entry and exit rules - and this can be more important than more exact prediction.
