Improving my redline!

So I just took a looks at my Oct and Nov graphs and it seems that my redline needs some work. Or is this common? I feel like there must be a leak somewhere that I need to plug. Folding to 3-bets instead of calling or maybe not 4-betting enough. Take a look at my stuff and let me know where you think I may be leaking.
My stats and graph for Nov look like this:

Stop limping as much and be more aggressive

You are one nitty 6-max player. However, given the hand histories I've read from you, that's probably a good thing (since a nitty style is easier to play).

Starting calling 1/2 more 3-bets in position against players who 3-bet very light. Also, raise more preflop.

As it is now, you probably play quite well postflop (players probably give you too much action). However, preflop, you would do well to raise more, steal more, and 3-bet more often. 17.3% attempt to steal & a 3% 3-bet percentage is really low. I would give you like zero action at the table.

Maybe another question that flows from this one is, Where do we really want our stats? That is, where should they be to be playing a solid game (6 max)?

I know I need to improve on aggression but it's hard for me to make that transition when I'm currently at 4.44 BB/100 over the last 14k hands since moving to 100NL. But I am sure that staying so nitty will only hurt me in the long run.

Well optimal stats for each player vary a lot. I play well in marginal situations & small pots, so I run a lot more loosely than other players probably should. I also spew money in big pots, so I've recently started 3-betting light less, and calling in position more.

You have to tailor your game to your strengths and to exploit your opponents. There's no best playing style, and thus there are no "best" stats.

However, Hold'em Manager has a nifty series of articles called "Plugging Leaks", and in the first one of the series they tracked various stats and compared them to player's win rate. If you download the hold'em manager trial, you can read the whole thing. Here's an excerpt from the article:

The following shows average bb/100 for players using a datamined database of NL 6 Max from NL100 to NL1000 over the last 6 months – I took results from the 1790 players with at least 5K hands in the database. For each stat I have grouped results into 5 equal ranges and then taken the median bb/100. Often it is more meaningful to look at combinations of stats but this should give you a general guide.

Median bb/100 based on VPIP:
VPIP = BB/100
< 18.3 = 2.18
18.3 to 20.2 = 3.46
20.2 to 21.9 = 3.04
21.9 to 25.3 = 3.72
25.3 + = -2.76

Note, it looks as though from this that a player with a VPIP of 27 is definitely going to be a losing player but please note that it is the upper half of that 5th group that accounts for most of the losses. Basically, this shows that any reasonably standard VPIP is profitable, low VPIP’s less so and the players with the high VPIP’s are the ones that feed the poker economy. Also note that very few of the high VPIP players ever make it to 5000 hands so the amount lost by high VPIP players is even much more pronounced than this chart shows. In fact, if you filter for all players with a VPIP higher than 50 you will probably find that the combined bb/100 for all these players is around -40bb/100!

The negative non-showdown winnings is pretty standard especially with players who aren't super strong post flop players. You could definitely help this by closing the gap between your VPIP and PFR (preferably by 3-betting more). With a VPIP of 17, your PFR should be no less than 13 I'd say. 9 is way too low.

So after reading your comments I decided to play a little different last night and opened it up a bit last night. So I ended up playing at about 18/14.5. Still a bit tight I know but hey I closed the gap a little bit AND my non-showdown winnings are in the positive . Thanks.

Here's my graph from last night session:
