Given that the stock market is, for a large part, psychological

That's all it is. The stock market is a very large mass psychology experiment.

Yes, there is a lot of programmed trading out there – and all of those programs were created by humans. It does not change the mass psychology aspect of the market. Computers have not reached self-awareness yet, they are not sentient beings like humans, so the "decisions" they make still apply to this theory.

I'd argue that TA works for the very same reason – simply because so many people follow it and it has been around for a very long time, not because there are inherent patterns in stock charts.

Many will, no doubt, argue with this. It's what I believe and I'll be sticking to it.

I sense I've just opened a huge can of worms. :-)
