i hate semantical wanks as well
i see a lot of people who use TA (especially market profile) want to distinguish THEIR form of TA (the alleged scientific non-voodoo kind) from other TA
the simplest way to look at it is - if it's not fundamental analysis - it's probably TA
and if it relies on price, or any derivative of same - it's TA.
thus, market profile is TA (although most MP users hate to admit that) etc.
fwiw, i love TA. and i trade the dow minis intraday
i also love fundies. i have bought some investments without even looking at any charts whatsoever.
but i would not do that with an intraday futures trade, needless to say
