NGYB/Stocks ? reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a simple stock prediction and evaluation project that lets me explore different ways to forecast stock prices and compare how well they work.

I want a clean notebook based workflow where I can load stock data, train a few prediction approaches, and then see the results side by side with clear charts and basic evaluation. It should include a way to predict price movement or direction, a way to forecast returns or future prices, and a way to test the ideas on past data so I can judge whether they are actually useful.

Make it easy to run and easy to tweak for different stocks or time ranges. If you think it helps, use separate notebooks or modules for different prediction ideas, but keep the overall experience simple. Add readable outputs, summaries, and plots so I can understand what each approach is doing.

If you need to check current library docs or best practices, go ahead and look them up online first.
