Default Is it time for me to move up?

I've played about 20k $25NL full ring hands.

I'm playing short stack strategy with minimal buyin. Thus my starting bankroll was $100.

I've made about $500 to date. My biggest swing was -$100 and then +$200 the next day.

Is it time for me to move up to the next limit?

Honestly, if you are up to $500 I would start buying in full at the $25 tables (you have 20 buy-ins) and learn how play with 100BB stacks. Are you honestly going to continue with the short-stacked startegy as you continue to move up stakes? People that only play with a short-stack are just costing themselves money IMO.

you should NOT be moving up, you should be buying in FULL at 25 NL so you can actualy learn what to do on turns/rivers

depends on how many short buy-in tables he can play versus max buy-in for 100bb's.

You will lose your BR at 50NL playing your shortstack strategy. Buyin full at the 25NL tables and learn how to play real poker.
