Right now, I am with scottrade, but it does not provide the quote for
Futures e-mini S&P 500. So the question is:

I am looking for an online broker designed for individual account, but
it must satisfy these requirements:
- able to trade stocks (equity)
- view real-time chart/quote of the stock
- view extra indicator such as stochastic over the stock information.
- view real-time S&P 500 mini futures quote and chart
- able to view many different qoute/charts at the same time.
- to open with low minimum balance.
- trade equity at about $5-$10 per transaction

Anyone you can refer me too?

See those brokers are great, but they want me to satify about
liquidity requirment (like $50,000).... but I don't have that much.

I am thinking still use my Scottrade, but instead subscribe to third
party like quote.com with $95 a month package.

Is there any broker that satisfy all the requirements, yet require
little liquidity amount?

I currently trade futures with less than 5K in my account at Interactive Brokers.

In order to daytrade stocks, and stock options you must have 50K. That
is an SEC rule.  It does not apply to futures.  The rules are screwy
with stocks and what constitutes a 'daytrade'. You need to read up.

To trade futures you'll need a real charting service like e-signal,
qcharts or something that can process a futures feed.
