Whether you have a smooth equity curve or not, you need to look at the underlying strategy of the CTA, because that may reveal the "Black Swan" risk component that could potentially affect the program in the long run.

Good point. The most classic one is when a CTA smoothens his equity curve with short vol that has nothing to do with the strategy that he/she is marketing. I think of it as sesame oil, a bit of it tastes good, just a little more and it ruins the dish - and when you aren't sure if you have a deadly allergy, you really need to know if it's in your dish.
