Technical Analysis:

Entry Point (1913):

The entry point at 1913 indicates your intention to initiate a short (sell) position on XAU/USD at this price level.
Before entering the trade, it's essential to have a rationale for this choice. Possible reasons may include technical analysis signals or fundamental factors suggesting a potential decline in the XAU/USD pair.
Take Profit 1 (TP1 - 1904.637):

Your first take-profit level is set at 1904.637, indicating your goal to capture partial profits when the price reaches this level.
This partial take-profit level allows you to secure some gains while still holding a portion of the trade in case the price continues to move in your favor.
Take Profit 2 (TP2 - 1890.505):

Your second take-profit level is set at 1890.505, representing your ultimate target for capturing profits.
Having multiple take-profit levels is a strategic approach to manage the trade and secure profits at different price points.
Stop Loss (1926.070):

The stop-loss level at 1926.070 is positioned above your entry point. Its purpose is to limit potential losses by triggering an exit if the trade moves against your initial analysis.
Placing the stop loss above the entry point is a risk management strategy aimed at allowing some room for price fluctuations without prematurely closing the trade.
Risk-Reward Ratio:

To assess the risk-reward ratio, you can calculate the difference between the entry point and the stop loss (1926.070 - 1913) and the difference between the entry point and each take-profit level (1904.637 - 1913 and 1890.505 - 1913).
The risk-reward ratios for TP1 and TP2 would be approximately 0.68 and 1.52, respectively. A risk-reward ratio above 1 suggests a potentially favorable trade setup.
Additional Considerations:

Stay informed about factors that could impact the XAU/USD pair, such as economic data releases, geopolitical events, and movements in other related markets (e.g., USD).
Monitor technical indicators like moving averages, RSI, and candlestick patterns for confirmation of your trade analysis.
Remember that trading involves risk, and there are no guarantees of profit. It's crucial to have a well-defined trading plan, implement proper risk management, and stay updated with the latest market developments. Continuously monitor the trade's progress and be prepared to adjust your strategy if new information becomes available.
