Open High Low Close Volume
253.8 255.8 253.8 255.8 809300

Your fitness function would be how close your predictions were to the actual. So you've got your population of agents who are predicting tomarrow's prices. Like, agent #12683 goes through his model and predicts that the price of eggs will be up 0.5% tomorrow. You take their predictions (+0.5%), subtract them from the actual prices, and take the absolute. A score of zero is perfect.
You'd use historical data to provide a learning set on.
And you'd be a decade behind the quant-devs who have already done this and a few years behind the quant-devs who gamed those systems to make a buck. Welcome to the stock market.
