johansen cointegration test

Hi!

I am currently conducting johansen tests for energy prices, energy consumption (total energy, electricy and oil) , gdp over 28 i determine the lag lenth trhough var lag order criteria (below eviexs output),
after that, I obtained the following johansen cointegration results. The Max-eigenvalue test indicates 4 cointegrating equation(s) at the 5% level and only 1 cointegrating equation(s) at the 1% level.
I am wondering if the high values for the trace and the max. eigenvalue are "normal" or if they are caused by some misspecification or wrong lag length. (below one eviews output)
why i obtained two differents results from the The Max-eigenvalue at 1% and 5%?
What results can i retain?
