In this tutorial, we will explore how to develop a machine learning-based risk management tool using Python. We will utilize the yfinance library to download financial data and train machine learning models for risk assessment. The tool will provide insights into potential drawdowns and suggest risk mitigation strategies for investment portfolios.

To follow along with this tutorial, you should have a solid understanding of Python programming and machine learning concepts. We will also make use of various Python libraries, including numpy, pandas, scikit-learnand matplotlib. Make sure you have these libraries installed before proceeding.

Let’s dive into the world of machine learning-based risk management and build our own risk assessment tool!
