Help understanding wash rule

I'm relatively new to this, so please bear with me.

Let's say over the course of a week I trade in and out of the same stock each day and get the following results.

Monday +$10

Tuesday -$15

Wednesday +$20

Thursday -$30

Friday +$20

Net +$5

What do I pay taxes on exactly? The $5 net capital gain? Or, am I paying taxes on $50?

Thank you!
