Trouble moving up in stakes (+my graphs)
I'll post my 3 graphs here so you guys can see what's happening.
I have trouble moving up from the $1.50 Hyper HUSNG's to the 3.50$ hypers, my bankroll is about $170 and everytime I try to play the $3.50 games I just play awfully and concentrate winning money and not making +EV plays. Then I lose like 3-10 buy-ins get depressed and move down. I'm am literally terrified of losing when ever I'm playing the $3.50 coz losing 5 buy-ins is a big part of my roll. I know that maby I should wait till I have bigger roll but it just takes 4ever to grind like $250+ in $1.50 hypers. I hope you have some tips for me :)

You're really crushing the

You're really crushing the $1.50s :)
I think the most common advice is to have around 100x the buyin for hypers, so you should have a roll around $350 to be playing the $3.50 hypers -- if your roll was that large, it probably wouldn't bother you as much when you drop 5 buyins since it would represent such a small percentage of your roll.
You are a 5% winner at the $1.50 level -- that means you are adding around $7.50 to your roll for every 100 games you play.  I would recommend forgetting about playing the $3.50 level for a month or so and just focus on volume at the $1.50 level. In a month's time, your roll should probably be large enough that it will be easier to concentrate in the $3.50 games.
