:: Although I have been a TA in the past (no longer work as one, but still believe it works), the article is probably moderately pro-TA. Most of the recent changes were positive, although it is misleading to quote Lo's paper in a negative light, since he is an academic proponent of TA. As far as the statement about being on the floor of LIFFE, I find that surprising, since so many floor traders in the pits do seem to use it (I could not tell you if it was the profitable ones though). Personally, I do not think TA is useful for such short-term trading, as there is too much noise, but it is a different story for position trading. The statement about sell-side is untrue. I consulted to multiple hedge funds when I left the sell side, and many successful hedge funds seek out and hire TAs. Same for mutual fund companies. Admittedly most funds do not beat the market, but imo, it is because they probably underweight the opinions of their TAs. :-)
