Ask yourself this. Does sun go around the earth or earth goes around sun? If you look up in the sky then sun is going around. If you know the truth you would take the sun's movement as an illusion. So my dear sir that gentleman from NSE told you the truth. 
Once you become an old hand in trading you would know that TA does nil job in moving the markets. Charts simply reflect the past and present price action going through resistances and supports but it has no bearing on future price action no matter what people say, therefore backtesting is waste of time and TA based forecasts seem sureshot due to all that technical jargon but in reality with all the maybe-maybenots are hardly better than the horoscope in the newspaper...that is, it makes sense only to the believer. However one must be very good at TA if one is thinking to take up trading as a profession. Because a professional trader uses TA as a tool to figure out the market trend by following highs and lows or patterns or indicators etc and bets when he sees positive expectancy in his favour. TA helps immensely in taking out emotions out of trading which is very very important.
